Studio CD Project RED on one of the Twitter accounts reported that the number of pre-orders for Cyberpunk 2077 on the eve of the launch reached 8 million pieces. This is another vivid evidence of just how large-scale the launch of the new game from the creators of The Witcher turned out to be.

Another evidence is the successful start on Steam, where the game set an absolute record for the number of concurrent players: more than 1 million people, which is two more than the result of the previous record holder (Fallout 4 2015 with 471 thousand players ).
Cyberpunk 2077 sets a new Steam record: over a million people played simultaneously at launch
In early 2021, CD Projekt will hold a special event for investors, where it will discuss plans for the development of the project in the near future. The CDPR team is currently focused on developing Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer and a free graphics update for next-gen consoles. For the foreseeable future, Cyberpunk 2077 will also receive small free DLCs, as well as important paid story plugins. Likely, at the next investor event, the studio will reveal details of initial sales and action plans for multiplayer.
On the eve of Bloomberg, according to a survey of 10 independent analysts, Cyberpunk 2077 sales for the first year were forecast at 30 million copies. By comparison, the latest CD Project RED hit, The Witcher 3, has sold 29 million copies in just four years since its release. At the same time, Red Dead Redemption 2 has achieved that milestone in over a year.
Meanwhile, according to Kotaku and Polygon, owners of the previous generation base consoles PS4 and Xbox One are complaining about technical problems in Cyberpunk 2077 on social media and forums: low resolution, slowdowns and freezes.

Remember that it was the errors that most of the reviewers of well-known foreign publications identified as the main drawback of the new CD Project RED game. It seems that despite three transfers and creaks, the studio was unable to polish all versions of Cyberpunk 2077 equally well, and there are as many as nine.
Cyberpunk 2077 launched on December 10 on all platforms (PC, PS4 and PS4 Pro, PS5, Xbox One | One X, Xbox Series X | S, and Google Stadia).
