During the first half of 2026, CD Projekt Red posted robust financial results, generating revenue of roughly $116.5 million (equivalent to 435 million PLN), which represents a 23 percent increase compared to the same period a year earlier. The company’s bottom line also improved dramatically, with net profit climbing 37 percent to $66.7 million (about 249 million PLN).
This strong performance translated into an impressive net profit margin of 57.2 percent, underscoring the firm’s ability to convert a large share of its earnings into profit. A central element of CD Projekt Red’s strategy is the continued exploitation of its flagship IPs, particularly The Witcher series.
The studio announced a three‑year rollout plan for new Witcher‑related releases. The first milestone of this plan is the launch of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered, scheduled for September 29.
The remastered edition will be available on multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and, for the first time, the Nintendo Switch 2 in a native format. Existing owners of the original Witcher 3 will receive the upgraded version at no extra cost, and the package will incorporate both of the game’s major expansions, thereby delivering a comprehensive experience to both newcomers and veteran players. In addition to the console and PC releases, CD Projekt Red is forging a partnership with Blizzard Entertainment.
Through this collaboration, the Remastered version and the forthcoming expansion titled Songs of the Past will be distributed on Blizzard’s Battle.net platform, expanding the game’s reach to Blizzard’s extensive user base and providing additional cross‑promotional opportunities. Sales figures for The Witcher franchise continue to climb. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt alone has now sold over 65 million copies worldwide, and when combined with the sales of earlier titles in the series, the total number of Witcher units sold exceeds 90 million.
These numbers illustrate the enduring popularity of the series and its ability to attract new audiences years after its initial release. The other cornerstone of CD Projekt Red’s portfolio, Cyberpunk 2077, has also demonstrated solid performance.
The title has crossed the 40‑million‑copy threshold, while its major expansion, Phantom Liberty, has moved 15 million units in less than three years. The Cyberpunk brand has further permeated the broader gaming ecosystem this year, appearing as in‑game content within titles such as Wuthering Waves and Apex Legends. Moreover, a Cyberpunk‑themed trading‑card game launched on Kickstarter and quickly became the platform’s most‑funded project ever, highlighting the franchise’s cultural resonance and the community’s enthusiasm for related merchandise. Beyond games, CD Projekt Red is expanding its presence in streaming media.
The sequel to the animated series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, co‑produced with Studio Trigger, is slated to debut on Netflix on October 20. This continuation aims to deepen the narrative universe and attract viewers who may not be traditional gamers, thereby broadening the brand’s audience.
Chief Financial Officer Piotr Nielubowicz emphasized that licensing revenue is becoming an increasingly important pillar of the company’s financial health. He noted that licensing deals—ranging from merchandise and media adaptations to collaborations with other game publishers—are complementing the steady sales streams from the core game franchises and contributing to a more diversified income base. Earlier in the year, CD Projekt Red disclosed a modest 6 percent rise in overall revenue for the first quarter, reaching $52.5 million (PLN 191 million).
This uptick coincided with the announcement of the third expansion for the 2015 release of The Witcher 3, signaling that the studio’s post‑launch support continues to generate incremental revenue and maintain player engagement. In a branding move announced in June, the parent company CD Projekt confirmed that it would adopt the name CD Projekt Red for its publishing activities, aligning the corporate identity more closely with its most recognizable development studio. This rebranding is intended to streamline communication with investors, partners, and the gaming community.
Overall, the first half of 2026 has been a period of solid growth for CD Projekt Red. The combination of strong sales from legacy titles, strategic platform partnerships, expansion into new media formats, and an increasing focus on licensing revenue positions the company well for continued success. With the upcoming launch of the Witcher 3 Remastered, the release of new Witcher expansions, and the rollout of additional Cyberpunk content across games, streaming services, and merchandise, CD Projekt Red appears poised to sustain its upward trajectory throughout the remainder of the year and beyond.
