CD Projekt, the largest video game producer in Poland, announced that it has sold over 3 million copies of Phantom Liberty, the highly anticipated sequel to the iconic game Cyberpunk 2077. The game, which was released just over a week ago, has been well-received by players. Phantom Liberty offers a thrilling spy adventure, starring film stars Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba. This is CD Projekt's first major release since the troubled launch of Cyberpunk 2077 in December 2020. While the release is expected to boost CD Projekt's earnings this year, the company does not have any other major new games planned for the next two years as it is working on new projects. Market consensus is that CD Projekt will sell between 3 million and 4.5 million copies of Phantom Liberty this year, which was released on PC and current-generation consoles at a price of $29.99. CD Projekt estimates the total production costs for Phantom Liberty at approximately 275 million zlotys ($62.81 million).
