Over 20 million cyberpunks have been roaming the streets of Night City – partying with Jackie and getting to know Johnny, driving around with Panam and diving with Judy, hanging out with River and listening to Kerry’s songs. Thank you and we hope to see you all in the Afterlife!

Not surprising it has been on sale at retail for £5-£10 and in the PSN store it is on sale for £19.99.
With all the good press the game has got since the last update it will probably sell more.

Yeah and when they expansion releases next year along with their next major update, they'll probably get another boost in game sales.

They expected the same success as The Witcher 3 (40m+) but due the rushed launch with a really bad product they suffered a lot.

20m is not bad but it below expectations and way lower than it could be.

I hope they learn with the mistake of Cyberpunk.

The game bored me very quickly..hated the UI...just to much and overwhelming constantly. tried playing it again with the PS5 native release but i had the same problem.

I'm not sure if have the energy to finish this game in the future...

Can anyone change my mind on this?

The proof that sales don't equal quality.
There is a good game behind all the rushed issues.
Maybe today it is a better game but after the refund I won't try anymore.

That is what makes it even more sad... the concept and what they planned was great... it really was launched before they could finish it and I believe high execs forced the launch instead a new delay.

Think about like Halo Infinite case... today I realize it needed on more year to launch but how to delay one more year when you already faced huge backslash that made you already delay the game a year? It is a really hard decision for high execs.

There's a good game behind all the features they didn't implement. What they released was just false advertisement.

If Microsoft knew a year ago that they were going to end up delaying Starfield and Redfall to 2023, they probably would have delayed Halo Infinite since they didn't really need it in 2021.

As for Cyberpunk 2077, I played around 10 hours or so and really enjoyed what I was playing but decided to hold off once I read rumors about them changing a lot of stuff for their next major update in 2023 and since the expansion is current generation only, that cemented me waiting until next year to play the base game.

Yes but how many computers have been hacked and how many NPC's have been 'romanced'?

These are the real questions we need to know the answer for.....if only MSFT owned them. They would be so pro-consumer!

This is a flop regardless lol

At the price point of $5, $10 etc, it sounds like they are merely selling out of stock from the original launch as Best Buy, WalMart etc always have a bunch of copies dirt cheap, its like telling us BF2042 sold 20 million, I'm sure that might happen as the game still charts, but clearly at a price point so low, its hard to see it as a victory considering it could have sold those 20 million at a higher price point if it was a quality title day 1 vs early access.

There's a good game behind all the features they didn't implement. What they released was just false advertisement.

Agreed. I feel this is like borderlands. You get new guns, kill dudes with a bunch of side quest, get better guns to kill more lol That is the meat of the game imho, everything else is dead, lifeless, boring, bland, buggy and it feels like its just Borderlands great value edition trying to sell its self as Fallout or GTA or something. The functions that should be there, are not. I've seen folks try their best to convince me that its not suppose to have this or that, but I have a hard fucking time believing the the following.

A game set in a city with
cars
crime
cops
gangs
guns
and more importantly, a wanted star system when you break the law

had zero design intention to have them drive fucking cars to come after you if you broke the law, oh but gangs ALSO can't fucking drive cars too....yea, thats part of design bro lol It merely sounds like that function is missing just like the whole apartment and car storage thing was omitted even with the game telling you they can be used to store things, but it was removed, yet the on screen info tells you of features fucking stripped from the game lol So I have strong doubts that many of the features missing, was part of some deep design, its merely part of a rushed game no different then the train missing.


So they had some intent to build some game where those functions existed like GTA, rushed the game and stripped those features and simply tried to sell us Borderlands, while marketing it as some GTA-RPG type game, even one of the last trailers talks about the ability to customize cars, you literally have garages in the game in the city where its clear some feature existed like driving a car in it to do something lol So its hard to say its marketing when it was made was false as for all we know, THAT is what the game was going to be when they made those CGI trailers, but I agree it becomes false advertising when they continue that marketing with knowledge that such content doesn't exist in the game. People will always bash EA and Ubisoft, but in gaming...this easily is one of the worst and most egregious attempts to scam that I've ever seen in a AAA game right next to Star Citizen.

They couldn't even make a functional pathing system for vehicles that works better than GTA III. Npcs are completely braindead. They also promised an RPG with rich backstorys, but then changed the game description to Adventure and the "backstory", the choice you make for your character, barely dents the overall experience. There was so much potential for the path you choose to actually impact the whole story, but no, they half assed it (I blame executives, not developers).

And talking about EA or Ubisoft, this game wishes it was as good as any of the Assassin's Creed games. Even Unity.

This game was undercooked and obviously needed more development time but they knew that. I wouldnt even put this on the devs but the company with its mandatory milestones and release dates.
