The Polish company reported a revenue of 953 million PLN ($222 million USD) in 2022, up from 888 million PLN ($207 million USD) the previous year, and a net profit of 347 million PLN ($81 million USD), up from 209 million PLN ($49 million USD) in 2021. Despite the upwards trend, CDPR hasn't managed to hit the same level of success it saw in 2020, when Cyberpunk 2077's release caused a massive revenue spike that took its yearly profit to a massive 1.15 billion PLN ($268 million USD).

In its profit and loss breakdown, CDPR showed a 7% increase in revenue year-on-year, a modest figure that's nevertheless impressive two years after the company's last major game release. Despite its rough launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has seen solid sales after CDPR committed to fixing the game's initial issues and adding extra content, with the success of Netflix's Edgerunners anime giving it an extra boost in late 2022.
