Cyberpunk TCG Shatters Kickstarter History

The official Cyberpunk Trading Card Game (TCG) has officially become the most funded TCG Kickstarter of all time.

Developed by WeirdCo in a tight partnership with CD Projekt Red, the campaign didn’t just meet its goals—it flatlined them. Here is how the most anticipated tabletop game of 2026 is rewriting the record books as it charges toward the $10 million milestone.

Most creators hope to hit their goal in the first 24 hours. The Cyberpunk TCG did it in five minutes.

The momentum only snowballed from there. Within the first three hours, the project cleared $5 million, leaving the developers at WeirdCo scrambling to release new stretch goals for a community they affectionately called “gonks” for their overwhelming support. By its second day, the total had soared past $9.5 million, officially dethroning all previous tabletop card game records.

Why the Hype?

The game brings the high-stakes world of Cyberpunk 2077 and the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime to the physical table. Players build a crew of Edgerunners, equip them with legendary gear and cyberware, and compete to complete “Gigs” in a quest to become a Night City Legend.

  • Iconic Characters: The debut set, Welcome to Night City, features heavy hitters like V, Johnny Silverhand, Jackie Welles, and Judy Álvarez.

  • The Edgerunners Expansion: While the first set focuses on the game, the second set is already confirmed to fully integrate the cast of the hit Netflix anime.

  • Premium Tiers: From $49 starter decks to the eye-watering $7,999 “Night City Legend” tier, there is a buy-in for every level of fan. High-end backers are securing exclusive metal cards, serialized “Iconic Rares,” and even uncut sheets of cards.

The Road to $10 Million

As the campaign nears the $10 million mark, the stakes for backers have never been higher. WeirdCo has promised that hitting this “heady milestone” will trigger a massive reward:

  • Exclusive Card: Every backer will receive a Kickstarter-exclusive “Nova Rare” Rebecca: Having a Moment card.

  • Beta Box Buff: An additional Legend Pack will be added to every Beta Box, increasing the value for early supporters.

“Becoming the largest TCG in crowdfunding history in under 12 hours is a massive signal; our chooms are ready to build something truly special.” — Elliot Cook, WeirdCo Co-Founder
