The CD Projekt Group posted 69 million PLN ($16 million) profit for Q1 2022, doubling the number from the first quarter of the previous year. Per the official statement, the bulk of the revenues come from their latest AAA game Cyberpunk 2077, which had an impressive increase in sales after the release of the game’s next-gen console version.
The Vice President and CFO of CD PROJEKT, Piotr Nielubowicz said the company’s balance of cash, deposits, and treasury bonds also increased by 107 million PLN ($25 million) in the first three months of 2022. The Polish studio has high expectations for the second half of 2022 with Cyberpunk: EDGERUNNERS being released on Netflix and the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for next-gen consoles.
