Even with controversy knocking on its door and its reputation taking a serious hit in the aftermath of the Cyberpunk 2077 launch, CDPR’s financials are looking better than ever thanks to sales of the beleaguered RPG.
With all hands on deck currently to fix the current mess that CDPR’s leadership pushed out, the big boss of the studio is still optimistic that Cyberpunk 2077 will be a consistent seller for years to come.

Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red has been hit by a cyber attack, confirming in a statement that an unidentified actor had managed to penetrate its digital vault and make off with the source code for some of its games.
