In an anniversary post about Phantom Liberty, Cyberpunk 2077 quest director Paweł Sasko said the expansion reached more than 15 million copies sold, but he would not want the studio's story to be told as if the game's launch problems never happened.
Cyberpunk 2077 launched with problems that remain part of its history, Sasko said. "I do not think Phantom Liberty erases the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, and I would never want to tell our story that way."

CD Projekt RED chief says Cyberpunk 2077 launch was a mistake, not investor pressure
Speaking in a recent interview, Michał Nowakowski, joint CEO of CD Projekt RED, said the studio's push to ship Cyberpunk 2077 in late 2020 came from internal and external pressure, not from investors.

In his words, the team was exhausted and wanted to get the game out the door, while fans and other voices were also asking for a launch. He added that the release period was unusual because it happened in the middle of COVID-19.
