https://wccftech.com/cyberpunk-2077-sales-numbers-after-returns/ > There are two things we can say for sure about the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, a) it was a mess, with rampant glitches and terribly optimized current-gen console versions compelling most retailers to offer refunds, and b) it was also a major success. Cyberpunk 2077 amassed over 8 million pre-orders, enough to immediately pay off the game’s development costs, but of course, that doesn’t tell the whole story as not everyone who bought the game pre-ordered. According to a new press release issued by CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077 has already sold a whopping 13 million copies, and that’s taking returns into account… > Based on reports obtained from digital distribution platforms and data collected from physical distributors, it estimates that by 20 December inclusive gamers have purchased over 13 million copies of Cyberpunk 2077. This figure represents the estimated volume of retail sales across all hardware platforms (factoring in returns submitted by retail clients in brick-and-mortar as well as digital storefronts), aka the “sell-through” figure, less all refund requests e-mailed directly to the Company by the publication date of this report in the framework of the “Help Me Refund” campaign.
