Cyberpunk 2077 sells 40 million copies and gets future plans

Intelligence Summary
- Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 40 million copies, while the future of DLC and Cyberpunk 2 remains uncertain.
In short
- Since launching in December 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 40 million copies.
- On July 5, 2026, the game hit a peak of more than 100,000 concurrent players on Steam.
- CD Projekt has not announced any plans for further DLC or expansions for Cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077 has made a remarkable comeback, reaching a peak of more than 100,000 concurrent players on Steam, its highest since the launch of the Phantom Liberty expansion in 2023. This rebound is the result of a combination of a recent sale and the buzz around related media. The game has now sold 40 million copies in total, underlining the enduring appeal of Night City’s dystopian world.
GAME-scanner analysis
The recent spike in player numbers shows that Cyberpunk 2077, despite its turbulent launch, has managed to build a solid foundation. The Phantom Liberty expansion not only added new content, but also reignited interest in the game. However, CD Projekt has indicated that there are currently no plans for further DLC, raising questions about the future of the franchise. The suggestion that Cyberpunk 2 may not arrive until after 2030 could also affect player engagement.
What does this mean for players?
For players, this means the current Cyberpunk 2077 experience is likely the only available content for now, unless CD Projekt changes course. The lack of new DLC may affect players’ motivation to return to the game, especially as the hype around Phantom Liberty begins to fade. The future of the franchise now appears to rest on Cyberpunk 2, which could mean a long wait for many fans.
