What began as one of gaming's most cautionary tales has quietly rewritten its own ending. Cyberpunk 2077, launched in December 2020 under a cloud of technical failure and broken promises, has now sold 40 million copies worldwide — a number that speaks not only to commercial recovery but to the patient work of rebuilding trust. CD Projekt Red's long road from crisis to credibility offers a rare study in institutional resilience, and the studio is now using that hard-won ground as the foundation for an expanding universe.
