The studio\u2019s latest fiscal report highlights a significant upward trajectory, driven by the enduring popularity of its flagship franchises and strategic expansion efforts.<\/p>\n<p>### Financial Milestones: A Strong First Half<br \/>\nThe company\u2019s 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%.<\/p>\n<p>### The Witcher Franchise: Unstoppable Momentum<br \/>\nThe Witcher series remains the cornerstone of the studio\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n<p>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 &#8211; 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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>### Cyberpunk 2077: Expanding the Night City Universe<br \/>\nWhile 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. <\/p>\n<p>The brand\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"echo_read_more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/cd-projekt-red-sees-profit-climb-37-in-h1-2026\" target=\"_blank\"> \u00bb More Info >>><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt* continues its legendary run, smashing past 65 million copies sold and pushing the total franchise tally beyond a staggering 90 million units.
