Cyberpunk 2077 Developer CD Projekt RED has revealed that its beleaguered open-world RPG has sold over 13 million copies.

It announced the game’s sales figure in a new regulatory announcement, published on December 22. The 13 million figure represents both digital and physical sales, and even takes into account all refund requests.

“Based on reports obtained from digital distribution platforms and data collected from physical distributors, [CD Projekt RED] estimates that as of December 20 inclusive, players have purchased more than 13 million copies of Cyberpunk 2077”Stated the company.

“This figure represents the estimated volume of retail sales on all hardware platforms, […] less all refund requests emailed directly to the Company prior to the publication date of this report as part of the “Help Me Refund” campaign.

Earlier this month, CD Projekt RED said that Cyberpunk 2077 It had already sold 8 million copies based only on pre-orders and that the game had already generated a profit for the developer. However, this was all before the company began offering refunds for the game, after numerous gamers on next-gen consoles and low and mid-range PCs reported encountering game-breaking bugs.

Both Sony and Microsoft have also started reimbursing players who purchased the game through their digital platforms, the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store, respectively. Additionally, Sony has also removed the game from its platform and it is currently not available for purchase.

It is currently unclear how many copies of Cyberpunk 2077 has been reimbursed and how that has affected CD Projekt RED’s sales and earnings. But the controversy surrounding the game’s launch has already caused the company’s share value to drop from $ 4 billion (2.9 billion pounds) to $ 3 billion (2.2 billion pounds).

Some of CD Projekt RED’s investors are also allegedly considering filing class action lawsuits over Cyberpunk 2077. Two law firms, based in Poland and the United States, have announced that they are investigating potential lawsuits.
