Cyberpunk 2077 has finally arrived, and CD Projekt Red has seen an incredible amount of success in terms of its early sales. The latest statistic released on Cyberpunk 2077 is particularly impressive, as it sees the game climbing to the top of the UK sales charts and becoming the second-biggest retail launch in the country this year.
With each new statistic released on the futuristic RPG, it becomes easier to recognize how Cyberpunk 2077 turned a profit on day one. People around the world were clearly excited to play the game, and with it finally releasing after numerous delays, plenty of fans around the world have already paid the price of admission. The game beat out The Last of Us 2 in the UK, the previous second place holder, and only one game still stands above Cyberpunk 2077 in terms of commercial success at launch.
The recently released FIFA 21 remains more successful than Cyberpunk 2077, something that should not be too surprising given the franchise’s success in the UK over the last several years. Still, Cyberpunk 2077’s placement is impressive, especially considering it beat out Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in the “new releases” category for its launch week. With Animal Crossing: New Horizons taking a third-place spot, Cyberpunk 2077 sits among successful company.
It is worth noting that Cyberpunk 2077’s second-place spot is purely based on the sales of physical copies, as digital copies sold are not tracked in GfK polls. With most PC downloads of Cyberpunk 2077 being digital, a huge chunk of sales numbers is likely being left out. As such, the chart is mainly tracking physical copies on the console versions of Cyberpunk 2077, with the game selling 60 percent of the tracked physical copies on PS4 and 35 percent on the Xbox One. The remaining 5 percent were PC physical editions.
Cyberpunk 2077 has surpassed World of Warcraft’s PC sales record. With the game also boasting the highest number of active Steam players ever active at a single time, plenty of people are going to be exploring Night City over the next several days. That said, the game’s bugs and performance issues have been heavily criticized in the press.
With CD Projekt Red’s stock dropping following discussion of the game’s issues, how well it performs going forward will be interesting to see. For now though, the story of V and Johnny Silverhand has proven to be enough to secure Cyberpunk 2077 a top sales position in the UK and other parts of the world.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions also in development.
