The open-world RPG saw a spike in player numbers in September coinciding with the launch of its major 1.6 patch, a half-price discount on Steam, and the release of Netflix's anime series Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

CD Projekt claimed in September that the game was attracting over one million players daily and that it had surpassed 20 million sales – up from 18 million reported by the company in April.

This resurgence helped the company achieve record results for its third financial quarter ended on September 30, CD Projekt said today.

"In terms of financials, this was the best third quarter in our entire history. With consolidated revenues at 246 million PLN [$54.6m]– mostly owing to strong sales of Cyberpunk–the Group posted 99 million PLN [$21.3m] in net profit," said chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz.

"This translates into a net profitability of 40% for the whole Group, and a whopping 47% for the CD Projekt Red segment.

"We carry on with intensive development work on the Cyberpunk expansion, as well as on other projects," he added.

The anime got me to jumpback in but then I stopped about an hour in. I want to wait until the expansion is closer.

I didn't go in with great expectations, being a Netflix show but it was really good. Definitely worth a watch and for sure I can see why people were all 'I'm firing up the game again right now'.
