WeirdCo’s Cyberpunk TCG just hacked the record books, becoming the most-funded game ever on Kickstarter. The campaign blasted past $15.4 million with 16 days still on the clock, dethroning Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere RPG ($15 million) as the previous all-time games crowdfunding champ.
The project launched March 17 with a $100,000 goal and hit full funding in seven minutes-fast enough to crash the site for some would-be backers. The momentum never slowed. As of now, 21,484 backers have piled in, with average spend per person hitting eye-watering levels. Over 4,200 fans dropped $499 each on the Street Cred Back, scoring two decks, 108 booster packs, and extra loot. Nearly 9,000 picked up the $349 Netrunner Starter Kit, while 700 high-rollers shelled out $7,999 for Night City Legend bundles featuring serialized metal cards of icons like Adam Smasher and David Martinez.
To celebrate the milestone, WeirdCo is giving every pledge tier a foil nova rare V: Street Kid card. The campaign’s wild success means more stretch goals and exclusive rewards are likely as the clock ticks down.
Why this matters for players
This is a big win for fans of the Cyberpunk universe, especially those who love both digital and tabletop gaming. The TCG taps into the franchise’s roots, offering a new way to experience Night City beyond the screen. With such massive funding, expect high production values, deep card pools, and ongoing support. The high average pledge and premium bundles suggest a dedicated player base hungry for rare collectibles and competitive play.
For collectors, those serialized metal cards and foil promos are instant grails. For players, the sheer volume of booster packs bundled into higher tiers means a strong secondary market and plenty of deck-building options right out of the gate.
How the campaign stacks up
This isn’t just a Kickstarter record-it’s the biggest tabletop game crowdfunding campaign ever, across all platforms. Kickstarter confirmed the milestone in a blog post, highlighting the community’s role in pushing the project to new heights. The campaign’s early hype trailer, released in December, has already racked up over 66,000 views, fueling the frenzy.
Speculation: With more than two weeks left, the final total could climb even higher, potentially setting a bar that will stand for years.
The bottom line
- Cyberpunk TCG is now the most-funded game in Kickstarter history, with $15.4 million raised and counting.
- Backers are getting exclusive cards and premium bundles, with strong collector and competitive appeal.
- The campaign’s success signals major player demand for tabletop Cyberpunk experiences-and a likely surge in secondary market activity when the game ships.
