CD Projekt Red announced that it earned a total of $116.5 million (approximately 435 million PLN) in revenue for the first six months of 2026, representing a 23 percent rise compared with the same period a year earlier. This solid top‑line growth was matched by an even stronger bottom line: net profit climbed 37 percent to $66.7 million (about 249 million PLN), delivering a net profit margin of 57.2 percent for the half‑year. The company also laid out an ambitious three‑year roadmap for its flagship Witcher franchise.
The centerpiece of the plan is a fully remastered edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, scheduled to launch on September 29 across multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and, for the first time, a native version for the upcoming 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, ensuring that newcomers and veterans alike can experience the complete narrative in a modern, polished package. In addition to the console and PC releases, CD Projekt Red has struck a distribution partnership with Blizzard Entertainment.
Under this agreement, the remastered Witcher 3 and the forthcoming expansion titled "Songs of the Past" will be made available on Blizzard’s Battle.net platform, extending the game’s reach to a broader audience of online gamers. Sales figures for The Witcher series continue to be impressive.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt alone has now sold more than 65 million copies worldwide, and when the entire franchise—including the earlier Witcher titles and spin‑offs—is taken into account, total sales have topped the 90‑million‑unit threshold. These numbers underscore the enduring popularity of Geralt of Rivia’s world and its capacity to attract new players long after the original release. The company’s other major property, Cyberpunk 2077, is also performing strongly. The open‑world RPG has crossed the 40‑million‑copy sales milestone, while its major expansion, Phantom Liberty, has moved 15 million units in under three years.
The Cyberpunk brand has been further amplified this year through cross‑promotions: elements of Night City have appeared as in‑game content in both Wuthering Waves and Apex Legends, exposing the setting to millions of additional players. Moreover, a Cyberpunk‑themed trading card game launched on Kickstarter and quickly became the platform’s most‑funded project ever, reflecting the franchise’s broad cultural resonance. Looking ahead, CD Projekt Red is preparing a sequel to the popular animated series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
Co‑produced once again with Studio Trigger, the new season is slated for a Netflix debut on October 20. CFO Piotr Nielubowicz highlighted that licensing revenue is becoming an increasingly vital component of the company’s financial mix, complementing the steady stream of game sales from both the Witcher and Cyberpunk universes.
Earlier in the year, the firm reported a modest 6 percent rise in total revenue for the first quarter, reaching $52.5 million (191 million PLN). This uptick was driven by continued strong performance of existing titles and early anticipation for upcoming releases.
In June, the parent company CD Projekt announced a rebranding of its publishing arm, officially adopting the name CD Projekt Red to align the corporate identity more closely with its flagship development studio. Overall, the first half of 2026 has been a period of robust financial health and strategic expansion for CD Projekt Red. The company’s ability to generate high profit margins while simultaneously delivering new content—both in the form of remastered classics and fresh expansions—demonstrates a balanced approach to nurturing its legacy franchises and exploring new revenue streams.
The upcoming Witcher 3 remaster, the Battle.net partnership, and the continued growth of the Cyberpunk ecosystem through games, media, and licensing agreements all point toward a sustainable, diversified business model that leverages the strength of its intellectual property across multiple platforms and audiences. With a clear roadmap for the next three years, CD Projekt Red aims to keep its flagship titles relevant in an increasingly competitive market.
By offering free upgrades to existing owners, expanding to new hardware like the Switch 2, and tapping into the massive online distribution network of Battle.net, the company is positioning itself to capture both loyal fans and new entrants. The continued success of its licensing deals—evident in the Netflix series and the record‑breaking Kickstarter campaign—suggests that the brand’s value extends far beyond traditional game sales, providing a robust foundation for future growth.
In summary, CD Projekt Red’s financial results, product pipeline, and strategic partnerships collectively illustrate a company that is not only recovering from past challenges but also charting a forward‑looking path that maximizes the profitability and cultural impact of its beloved franchises.
