30.000 players were satisfied, and CD Projekt Red set aside funds for any other refunds.
Cyberpunk 2077 did very well - 470 million euros in revenues, double that of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - but we all know the problems at launch, and how CD Projekt RED activated a campaign called "Help Me Refund”Following the disaster, especially on old gen where the title proved to be a receptacle for bugs and bad performances. Help Me Refund was born due to the various reluctance of retailers to grant a refund, and a gesture on the part of the developers to remedy. Months later, the first numbers were revealed.
The Polish company stated in a financial report that yes about 30.000 players have come forward for a "loss" of 2.2 million refunds for Cyberpunk 2077 These numbers, they specify, refer refunds issued directly by CD Projekt RED only and do not take into account those required on third-party platforms. Recall that Sony started by removing the game from the PlayStation Store (not yet available) and was closely followed by Xbox and GameStop, the latter with regard to physical copies.
In the financial report there is also another much higher number, about 51,2 million. This is a treasure that CD Projekt RED has set aside for any other refunds and unsold copies in 2021. After all, the company said it learned an important lesson with Cyberpunk 2077 and that it will be fixed, whatever the cost, and these numbers prove it.
