In its 2025 financial report, CD Projekt recorded an uptick in both sales and profit, driven by its Witcher and Cyberpunk series. Total sales revenue was 867 million PLN ($235.2 million), marking a 9% rise from the previous year. Cyberpunk played a pivotal role, with its revenue increasing by 12% year-over-year.

The launch of Cyberpunk Ultimate Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, along with the base game release on PlayStation subscription platforms, significantly boosted sales. The Nintendo Switch 2 edition notably enhanced the goods and materials sector, showing a fivefold increase thanks to strong cartridge sales.

Net profit surged 33.7% to 594 million PLN ($161.4 million) compared to 444.2 million PLN ($120.2 million) in 2024. The firm dedicated over 513 million PLN ($140 million) towards upcoming projects, concentrating on The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2, the latter of which moved from conception to production in April 2025.

Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski announced the initiation of development on a new IP, codenamed Hadar, by CD Projekt Red Studio. He expressed that significant progress is being made, highlighting the establishment of defining features and foundational elements that could underpin future products.

Nowakowski elaborated on the ongoing work regarding the new IP, stating the team is iterating multiple prototypes using Unreal Engine to test gameplay functions.

The workforce saw an increase from 707 developers in February 2025 to 933 in February 2026, with most developers allocated to The Witcher 4 (499), followed by Cyberpunk 2 (149), Sirius (71), and Hadar (26).

During 2025, CD Projekt announced that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sold over 60 million copies, Cyberpunk 2077 reached 35 million, and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty achieved over 10 million in sales.

In December, CD Projekt sold the GOG platform to co-founder Michał Kiciński for 90.7 million PLN ($25 million). The transaction was externally funded, and Kiciński maintains a significant stake in CD Projekt Red, holding 10% of the company's shares.
