Cyberpunk 2077 has been sold 13 million times
Last week we reported that the game had 8 million pre-ordres, but the numbers now indicated that in total the game was sold more than 13 million times (by December 20). And that's including bug refund options.
The news came from the company's latest regulatory announcement, in an effort to relax investors and show that Cyberpunk 2077 is still off to a strong start – at least, as far as revenue is concerned. Pulling in 13 million sales just a few weeks after release puts it in great company, and the studio seems optimistic about its future.
Despite the seemingly positive sales numbers, CDPR has a legitimate reason to worry. CD Projekt investors are reportedly looking into filing a class-action lawsuit due to the developer supposedly misrepresenting Cyberpunk 2077 for "financial benefits." This would mean that the company broke an SEC rule that makes it unlawful to deceive a person or people during security transactions. Basically, the game is so broken that those who invested in the title are looking to get their money back.
"This figure represents the estimated volume of retail sales across all hardware platforms (factoring in returns submitted by retail clients in brick-and-mortar as well as digital storefronts), i.e. the 'sell-through' figure, less all refund requests e-mailed directly to the Company by the publication date of this report in the framework of the 'Help Me Refund' campaign," CD Projekt said in a regulatory announcement.

Yes, the launch could have been smoother, apparently advertised content is missing, collision detection is very buggy and AI isn't great but the game itself is still pretty incredible. I'm amazed by the world CDPR has created and there are so many cool things in the game.
I don't regret buying it and would say it gets better and better the more I play it.

In the end I'll get it. By that time, it will get polished and with free DLC. Same happened with Witcher 3 and I learned first hand why is important to wait. Sadly, nowadays waiting is frowned upon like a disease or abnormality.

At least the game is still awesome even considering the bugs, can confirm this on PC anyway. Unlike fallout 76, which was a bad game with bugs.

Well this has to be some kind of "performance", a pretty bad game launch, but with amazing sales numbers - paradox?
I wonder how many would have been sold if the launch would have been a good one? 15mil? 20mil?
