Issues are going fairly good for CD Projekt proper now. The writer has simply shared its full monetary outcomes for 2024, and revealed that it simply recorded its finest internet revenue for a yr during which it did not put out any main releases. Cyberpunk 2077 was the principle driver behind this, because it continues to assist maintain down the fort till The Witcher 4 arrives.
This data’s detailed in a recent press launch and presentation from the corporate during which it seems to be again on its monetary outcomes for the entire of 2024. There’s additionally a pleasant video starring CDPR CFO Piotr Nielubowicz that goes by way of the highlights.
“We’re very glad with the truth that, even within the absence of any main launch, the previous yr was the third finest within the Group’s historical past when it comes to internet revenue,” Nielubowicz stated within the press launch, including within the video that this marks “the most effective consequence we now have ever managed in a yr which didn’t embody any main releases.”
Figures sensible, that internet revenue was practically 470 million Polish złoty, with Cyberpunk’s base recreation and Phantom Liberty DLC being cited within the launch as having “generated practically 600 million [złoty] in earnings”, whereas The Witcher 3 “continues to draw consideration and produces a secure income stream” regardless of being 10 years outdated. As of the tip of November base Cyberpunk had shifted 30 million copies over its total lifespan, whereas Phantom Liberty enlargement had shifted 8 million, which is sweet.

Anyway, to lighten the temper after excited about that once more, this is a Cyberpunk 2077 mod that’ll ship you random information about cats and canines as you play.
