Now it's Cyberpunk 2077's turn to be the fastest-selling PC game of all time WoW: Shadowlands' record already smashed. News by Matt Wales Reporter Updated on 10 Dec 2020 37 comments It was mere days ago that Blizzard heralded World of Warcraft's newly released Shadowlands expansion as the fastest-selling PC game of all time, but already, CD Projekt's swaggering open-world opus, Cyberpunk 2077, has stolen that crown. When Blizzard trumpeted Shadowlands' achievement earlier this week, it revealed that the expansion had sold through more than 3.7m units globally on its first full day of launch. As reported by GamesIndustry.biz, however, CD Projekt's investor relations Twitter account has now shared some early sales statistics for Cyberpunk 2077, revealing the game managed to shift a total of 8m pre-orders across all platforms. Watch on YouTube Digital Foundry's Cyberpunk 2077 Visual Tech Tour - The Maxed Out Next-Gen PC Experience. In total, 59% of all pre-orders were on PC (and 74% were for digital versions of Cyberpunk 2077, if you're curious about that particular split), meaning CD Projekt has already shifted approximately 4.72m copies on PC, beating Shadowlands' launch day total by a cool one million - and that's even without factoring in Cyberpunk's remaining launch day sales. It's not particularly surprising to learn that Cyberpunk is already doing the numbers, of course, given the astronomical hype that's grown up around CD Projekt's first blockbuster game since The Witcher 3 in the eight years following its original announcement. pic.twitter.com/PB1Bqqaw1i- CD PROJEKT IR (@CDPROJEKTRED_IR) December 10, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Eurogamer's Chris Tapsell was impressed enough with the fundamentals, however, to award it a Recommended badge, saying, "the intense, intoxicating humanity at its heart, is so nearly engulfed by all the noise. But I think I can still hear it, just about."
