CD Projekt Red announced that its financial performance for the first half of 2026 was markedly stronger than the same period a year earlier. The studio recorded total revenue of $116.5 million, which translates to roughly 435 million Polish zloty, marking a 23 percent rise compared with the previous year. More strikingly, net profit climbed to $66.7 million (about 249 million PLN), a jump of 37 percent, and the company’s profit margin reached an impressive 57.2 percent. The firm also unveiled a comprehensive three‑year rollout plan for its flagship Witcher franchise.
Central to this schedule is the launch of *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered*, slated for release on September 29. The updated version will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and, for the first time, will run natively on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 hardware. Existing owners of the original game will receive the remaster at no extra cost, and the package will bundle both of the original expansions, *Hearts of Stone* and *Blood and Wine*, ensuring that players get the full experience in a single, polished edition.
In addition to the console and PC releases, CD Projekt Red confirmed a strategic partnership with Blizzard Entertainment. Through this alliance, the remastered Witcher 3 and the forthcoming expansion titled *Songs of the Past* will be distributed via Blizzard’s Battle.net platform, expanding the game’s reach to a broader audience of PC gamers who use the service as their primary launch hub. Sales figures for the Witcher series continue to climb.
*The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt* alone has now sold more than 65 million copies worldwide, a milestone that underscores its enduring popularity. When the sales of the two earlier titles—*The Witcher* and *The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings*—are added, the entire Witcher franchise has collectively surpassed the 90 million‑copy mark, cementing its status as one of the most successful RPG franchises in modern gaming history.
The studio’s other flagship property, *Cyberpunk 2077*, has also maintained strong momentum. To date, the base game has shipped over 40 million copies across all platforms.
Its major expansion, *Phantom Liberty*, has moved 15 million units in less than three years, demonstrating that post‑launch content continues to generate significant revenue and keep the player base engaged. Moreover, the Cyberpunk universe has been expanding beyond the core game: references to Night City appeared in the 2024 releases of *Wuthering Waves* and *Apex Legends*, and a Cyberpunk‑themed trading card game launched on Kickstarter became the platform’s most‑funded project to date, attracting a massive community of backers and further solidifying the brand’s cultural footprint. Looking ahead, CD Projekt Red is preparing to release *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2*, a sequel to the popular Netflix animated series that was co‑produced with Studio Trigger.
The new season is scheduled to debut on Netflix on October 20, 2026. CFO Piotr Nielubowicz highlighted that licensing deals such as this are becoming an increasingly vital component of the company’s revenue mix, complementing the traditional sales of its games and expansions.
Earlier in the year, the company reported a modest 6 percent uptick in overall revenue for the first quarter, reaching $52.5 million (approximately 191 million PLN). This increase was driven largely by continued strong performance of existing titles and the early sales of upcoming Witcher content announced in May, which included the third expansion for the 2015‑era *Witcher 3*. In a related corporate development, the parent publishing house CD Projekt announced in June that it would rebrand itself as CD Projekt Red, aligning the corporate identity more closely with its most recognizable development studio. This change reflects the company’s intention to present a unified brand to investors, partners, and fans worldwide.
Overall, CD Projekt Red’s financial results and product roadmap illustrate a company that is not only capitalising on the legacy of its blockbuster franchises but also actively diversifying its revenue streams through strategic partnerships, licensing agreements, and cross‑media expansions. The upcoming releases—both the *Witcher 3* remaster and the *Cyberpunk* sequel series—are expected to sustain the upward trajectory, while the continued success of ancillary projects such as the Kickstarter‑funded trading card game and the integration of Cyberpunk content into other popular titles signal a broader cultural impact that extends beyond the traditional gaming sphere. All these factors combined suggest that CD Projekt Red is well positioned to maintain its growth momentum throughout the remainder of 2026 and beyond.
