During the first six months of 2026, CD Projekt Red posted revenue of $116.5 million (approximately 435 million PLN), representing a 23 percent increase compared with 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 studio’s growing efficiency and the enduring appeal of its flagship franchises.
A key component of the company’s strategy is the multi‑year roadmap for The Witcher series. According to the plan, a fully remastered edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is slated for release on 29 September 2026. The updated version will be available on modern platforms—including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and, for the first time, the Nintendo Switch 2—in a native build that takes full advantage of the newer hardware.
Existing owners of the original game will receive the remaster at no additional cost, and the package will bundle both of the original expansions, offering a comprehensive experience for newcomers and veterans alike. In addition to the console and PC rollout, CD Projekt Red announced a partnership with Blizzard Entertainment.
Through this collaboration, the remastered Witcher 3 and the forthcoming expansion "Songs of the Past" will be distributed via Blizzard’s Battle.net service, extending the game’s reach to a broader audience and providing an alternative storefront for players who prefer Blizzard’s ecosystem. The sales figures for The Witcher 3 continue to climb. To date, the title has sold more than 65 million copies worldwide, while the entire Witcher franchise—encompassing the original trilogy, spin‑offs, and related media—has now surpassed the 90‑million‑unit milestone.
These numbers reflect the series’ sustained popularity and its ability to attract new fans long after its initial launch. Turning to CD Projekt Red’s other major IP, Cyberpunk 2077 has also demonstrated robust performance. The game has crossed the 40‑million‑copy threshold, and its first major expansion, "Phantom Liberty," has moved 15 million units in under three years. The Cyberpunk brand has been further amplified this year through cross‑promotional appearances in other popular 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 beyond video games. Looking ahead, CD Projekt Red is preparing to release "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2," a sequel series co‑produced with Studio Trigger for Netflix.
The new season is scheduled to debut on 20 October 2026, and executives anticipate that the streaming tie‑in will generate additional licensing revenue. CFO Piotr Nielubowicz emphasized that licensing deals are becoming an increasingly important pillar of the company’s financial model, complementing the steady sales stream from both The Witcher and Cyberpunk titles.
Financially, the company reported a modest 6 percent rise in total revenue for the first quarter of 2026, reaching $52.5 million (191 million PLN). This uptick was driven largely by continued demand for existing titles and early‑stage pre‑orders for upcoming content. 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 with its most recognizable development studio. The broader context of these results points to a maturing business model that balances new releases, remasters, and ancillary revenue streams.
By leveraging high‑profile partnerships, expanding onto next‑generation hardware, and capitalizing on the growing popularity of licensed media, CD Projekt Red is positioning itself for sustained growth. The company’s focus on delivering high‑quality, narrative‑driven experiences continues to resonate with a global audience, and the financial metrics from the first half of 2026 suggest that this approach is paying off in both profitability and market presence. Looking forward, analysts expect that the upcoming Witcher 3: Remastered launch, combined with the Battle.net distribution agreement, will further boost sales figures in the latter half of the year. Similarly, the continued rollout of Cyberpunk‑related content—ranging from expansions to cross‑media collaborations—should keep the franchise in the public eye and maintain a healthy pipeline of licensing income.
As CD Projekt Red continues to refine its portfolio and explore new avenues for monetization, the company appears well‑positioned to sustain its upward trajectory and deliver value to shareholders and fans alike.
