CD PROJEKT RED: Cyberpunk Pre-Order Went Over 8 Million Worldwide

In fact, Cyberpunk 2077 was already known to be popular. However, the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 had already sold 8 million units as part of the pre-order was not something that was expected. Moreover, such a pre-order amount is an indication that the revenue from the game will be astonishing. Daniel Ahmad, one of the analysts of the platform named Niko Partners, known for his research on the video game industry, shared his predictions about the revenue of Cyberpunk 2077.

In the statements made by Daniel Ahmad, he says that this pre-order amount of Cyberpunk 2077 will have earned CD PROJEKT RED $ 500 million. When we compare this with the pre-order revenue of GTA 5, one of the most popular games in the world, we see that GTA 5 won almost half. At that time, the game had earned around $ 300 million in pre-order revenue. However, GTA 5 also made serious money on the first day of sales of the game. As the hour’s pass, the first day sales of Cyberpunk 2077 will be clear and we will see together which production has had a better first day.
