Meanwhile, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is now over 40 million copies sold. The Witcher franchise as a whole has crossed 65 million copies sold, meaning sales of the first two games total over 25 million copies sold.

CD Projekt RED is currently working on an expansion to Cyberpunk 2077. The company is also working on a new Witcher game using Unreal Engine 5, though development of the latter is very early and little is known at this time, outside of a teaser image featuring a Lynx medallion and the fact that this game is supposed to begin a "new saga."
Following criticism at launch regarding the game's poor technical performance, CD Projekt RED released an Xbox Series X|S and PS5 update for Cyberpunk 2077 back in February 2022. A similar current-generation update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was recently delayed, with CD Projekt RED moving the update from Saber Interactive to in-house development. CD Projekt RED is also continuing work on other unknown projects, including with its recently-acquired subsidiary, Boston-based studio The Molasses Flood.
