## CD Projekt Red’s Financial Surge: A Deep Dive into 2026 Growth and Future Witcher Plans
CD Projekt Red continues to solidify its position as a gaming industry titan, reporting a robust financial performance for the first half of 2026. The studio’s latest fiscal report highlights a significant upward trajectory, driven by the enduring popularity of its flagship franchises and strategic expansion efforts.
### Financial Milestones: A Strong First Half
The company’s financial health is currently in peak condition. During the initial six months of 2026, CD Projekt Red pulled in $116.5 million (435 million PLN) in revenue, marking a notable 23% increase compared to the same period last year. Even more impressive is the surge in bottom-line growth; net profit climbed by 37%, reaching $66.7 million (249 million PLN). This performance reflects a highly efficient operational model, with net profitability hitting an enviable 57.2%.
### The Witcher Franchise: Unstoppable Momentum
The Witcher series remains the cornerstone of the studio’s success. The iconic *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt* has officially crossed the 65 million units sold threshold, contributing to a staggering 90 million total sales across the entire franchise.
To capitalize on this momentum, the studio has unveiled a comprehensive three-year roadmap for the series. A major highlight is the upcoming launch of *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered*, scheduled for September 29. This definitive edition will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Notably, it will also mark the franchise’s native debut on the Switch 2. Existing owners of the base game will receive this upgrade for free, which includes both major expansions. Furthermore, a strategic collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment will see the Remastered edition and the new *Songs of the Past* expansion integrated into the Battle.net ecosystem.
### Cyberpunk 2077: Expanding the Night City Universe
While The Witcher dominates the headlines, the *Cyberpunk 2077* universe is experiencing its own renaissance. The base game has surpassed 40 million copies sold, while the *Phantom Liberty* expansion has moved 15 million units in less than three years.
The brand’s cultural footprint is expanding beyond traditional gaming as well. Night City has made high-profile appearances in titles like *Wuthering Waves* and *Apex Legends* throughout 2026. Additionally, the franchise’s reach into tabletop gaming has proven lucrative, with the *Cyberpunk* trading card game recently shattering records to become the most-funded project in the history of Kickstarter.
