Cyberpunk 2077 initial release date3/23/2023 ![]() ![]() But, many users had refunded the game due to its notorious bugs.ĬD Projekt Red has refunded 30,000 copies directly to customers. Without the refunds, the game had already covered the development costs on the first day of release. At $60 a copy, this is more than $800 million in revenue. In the first three weeks after the launch, CD Projekt Red sold 13.7 million copies of Cyberpunk 2077. Was Cyberpunk 2077 profitable? Yes, it was. That might be the case since the other costly games are among the best in the industry while Cyberpunk 2077 was not ready to be published at the stage it was in. Looking at the company Cyberpunk 2077 has, one may conclude that the setbacks and consecutive delays of the game might increase the expenses. When completed, Star Citizen will take the crown for being the most costly game to develop. High cost, high return and many refundsĪccording to an article from, CD Projekt Red had budgeted $316 million for Cyberpunk 2077 and that makes Cyberpunk 2077 the most expensive game to develop that you can play right now. This of course should say a lot of things about the development of Cyberpunk 2077, the setbacks, and the stage -which is by no means ‘final’- of the game close to release. Yet, we got another, final delay to December 10, 2020. After the first delay, the release day was pushed forward two more times: The first delay was to September 17 then the second delay was made, pushing the launch date as late as November 19. The hype was surreal but three times it was delayed before the game was released on December 20, 2020, so the situation should have already been alarming. Schreier reported that the demo of Cyberpunk 2077 shown at E3 was “almost entirely fake.” That could also explain how the pre-launch hype was secured and let the CD Projekt Red sell 13 million copies -at $60 apiece- in the first 10 days after the release. This date marks the reset button of the project, where Cyberpunk 2077 publisher CD Project Red dumped everything they had done and started the development process all over again. According to a series of interviews with the employees of CD Projekt Red, Jason Schreier reported that the full development of Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t start until the end of 2016.

AT E3 CD Projekt Red also announced Cyberpunk 2077’s first release date: April 16, 2020. At E3 2019, with the famous Keanu Reeves reveal, new Cyberpunk 2077 trailers and gameplay footage fed the hype. Their initial reaction was highly positive and full of excitement. In 2018, a pre-alpha version was made available for journalists of that year’s Gamescom. Before the first announcement about the time of release, which was in 2018, the game received another trailer in 2017. The first teaser ever for Cyberpunk 2077 was back in 2013, after almost a year from its first announcement. While the development of Cyberpunk 2077 lasted about 9 years, it seems like the developing team was overconfident about the final product and deadlines.Ĭyberpunk 2077 was first announced in 2012. Many bugs, frame rate problems, a ton of unfulfilled promises, and the fact that the game is nowhere close to the hype it created before was heartbreaking and angering for many video game fans around the globe.
