- The Phantom Liberty expansion has sold 10 million copies on its own, confirmed in CD Projekt's Q1 2025 earnings.
- Cyberpunk 2077's six-year sales pace is roughly 10 million units ahead of The Witcher 3 over a comparable window.
- In the UAE, the PS4/PS5 version sells for around AED 199 at retailers like Carrefour, while the Steam base game is currently 70% off at $17.99.

How a Disastrous Launch Became CD Projekt’s Fastest Seller
It’s worth pausing on how unlikely this number looked in December 2020, when the game shipped in a state rough enough to get pulled from the PlayStation Store. Nearly six years on, Cyberpunk 2077’s sales trajectory is now roughly 10 million units ahead of The Witcher 3 over a comparable time frame, making it CD Projekt Red’s fastest-selling major RPG.
The turnaround has two clear engines. The 2.0 update overhauled the game’s core systems and balance, and Phantom Liberty — which VGC called transformative and worth giving the game a second chance for — has sold 10 million copies on its own, a figure confirmed in CD Projekt’s Q1 2025 earnings. Co-CEO Michał Nowakowski has been candid that some goodwill is gone for good after the launch, but the sales curve suggests plenty of players came back anyway. As the studio told IGN, the game is ‘a great foundation’ for its upcoming projects in the universe, which includes the sequel currently in development.
The wider franchise isn’t slowing down either. The Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime is set for a Fall 2026 release, and parent company CD Projekt announced in late June that it will rename itself CD Projekt Red, folding the corporate brand into the studio name everyone actually knows.
Buying Cyberpunk 2077 in the UAE Right Now
If the milestone has you tempted, this is a very good time to jump in. The version on sale today bears little resemblance to the 2020 launch build, and the Ultimate Edition remains the sensible all-in-one purchase since it includes Phantom Liberty. It’s also remarkably flexible on platform these days — the Ultimate Edition even runs on Mac with full Apple Silicon support.
| Version | Price | Where |
|---|---|---|
| PS4/PS5 UAE version (physical) | Around AED 199 (incl. VAT) | Carrefour UAE and other major retailers |
| PC base game (digital) | $17.99 (70% off) | Steam |
| Ultimate Edition (game + Phantom Liberty) | Varies by platform and regional pricing | Steam, console storefronts |
One practical note for PlayStation players here: the game is officially age-rated and approved for sale in the UAE, but community reports have long indicated that copies bought via the UAE PS Store are a censored build. The common local workaround is buying through a US or EU account, or picking up an imported international disc — both censored UAE editions and international versions are widely stocked on Noon and Carrefour, so you can choose which build you want.
Forty million copies is a remarkable number for any game, let alone one that launched the way this one did. It won’t erase the memory of December 2020, but it does make Cyberpunk 2077 one of gaming’s most complete comeback stories — and a genuinely easy recommendation in 2026.
