The Witcher 3 has earned almost $650 million after a decade on shelves

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has earned PLN 2.4 billion ($642.3 million) in revenue for Polish developer CD Projekt after a decade on shelves.

The acclaimed title launched in 2015 and has sold over 60 million copies worldwide—although that metric doesn’t account for the unit sales of expansions Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.

CD Projekt shared the latest milestones in its fiscal report for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The company is currently working on the next mainline instalment in The Witcher franchise, which is currently slated for release “after 2026.”

The vast majority of CD Projekt’s development teams are currently working on The Witcher 4—with 422 of the company’s 730 developers assigned to the project. The next largest project is Cyberpunk 2, which has just entered pre-production under a 96-person team.

CD Projekt is pushing ahead with the sequel after managing to rehabilitate Cyberpunk 2077 following a difficult launch. The success of Cyberpunk’s well-received Phantom Liberty expansion, which has now sold 10 million copies worldwide, is indicative of that turnaround.

Discussing the sci-fi series’ future prospects, CD Projekt said Cyberpunk 2077 continues to deliver “strong” sales almost five years post-launch, giving it cause for optimism as it prepares to bring the title to Switch 2.

“This result fills us with great satisfaction—especially given that a new addition is about to join our Cyberpunk portfolio–on 5 June the game’s Ultimate Edition will be coming to the new Nintendo Switch 2 console,” said CD Projekt joint-CEO, Michał Nowakowski.

“Positive reactions from gamers and media representatives who have had the opportunity to play the game at a series of global Nintendo events fill us with optimism.”

Glancing quickly at CD Projekt’s fiscal performance during Q1 2025, consolidated sales revenue remained flat year-over-year after reaching PLN 226 million—mirroring the revenue delivered during Q1 2024. 

Net profit, meanwhile, decreased year-over-year to PLN 86 million from PLN 100 million.

“The Group’s total Sales revenue in the first quarter of 2025 was comparable to the first quarter of last year, mainly due to continued strong sales of Cyberpunk 2077, including the Phantom Liberty expansion,” explained CD Projekt.

“[…] The main reason for the lower net profit with comparable sales revenue, a higher operating profit and profit before tax was the higher amount of income tax compared with the comparative period.”
