Gamers Guild USA has successfully completed Wave 1 fulfillment for Cyberpunk Trading Card Game, the most-funded gaming Kickstarter in the platform’s history and the third largest Kickstarter campaign of all time.
Created by WeirdCo and set in CD Projekt Red’s rendition of the world of Cyberpunk 2077, the campaign drew 50,773 backers and raised more than $29M against an initial $100,000 goal. The record setting campaign became the largest fulfillment project Gamers Guild has supported to date.
The milestone represents more than proof that Gamers Guild can operate at a new scale.
“Growth only matters when it creates more opportunities for people to connect,” said Aaron Combs, Managing Owner and CEO of Gamers Guild. “This milestone allows Gamers Guild to support more creators, bring more remarkable games to players, and build more communities where people feel welcome. Fulfilling Cyberpunk TCG shows us what that future can look like.”
In less than a week, Gamers Guild moved its warehouse operation from a 10,000-square-foot facility in Tempe to a 49,000-square-foot facility in Central Phoenix. The new location provides nearly five times the space, with room to receive major releases, manage fulfillment at scale and grow alongside publishing partners.
Now, teams are preparing an unprecedented number of Cyberpunk TCG orders ahead of the November 6 retail release of Welcome to Night City. Products must be received, inventoried, organized, picked, packed, and checked. The goal is to send every shipment within the same fulfillment window, without sacrificing speed or accuracy.
Meeting that goal has required long hours across the company. Early-morning crews hand operations to daytime teams, evening crews continue packing after regular hours and employees return on weekends. Temporary workers, fulfillment specialists and staff from across Gamers Guild are all helping move the project toward shipping.
Behind every order is a backer who invested in the campaign and has waited to build an edgerunner crew of their own.
When shipping begins, together we will bring WeirdCo’s record setting game one step closer to the players and communities that made it possible.
For the Gamers Guild community, stronger publisher partnerships mean better access to quality games from dedicated creators, more opportunities to discover ambitious releases early and more events connecting players with the people shaping the tabletop industry.
We have already seen what those relationships can create when legendary artist Liz Danforth joined us for the Sorcery: Contested Realm Cornerstone Championship. Players were able to do more than compete. They met one of the artists whose work helped define fantasy gaming.
The scale may be new, but the purpose hasn’t changed. Gamers Guild has always been a place where people find their next game and the community waiting around it.
Now, we can help more publishers build the road that brings those games to players.
The scale of Cyberpunk TCG shows how much Gamers Guild can support at once, but its Publisher Services were built to support games at every scale.
Gamers Guild’s Publisher Services gives independent and growing publishers access to professional infrastructure so they don’t have to build everything from scratch. That can mean helping a startup ship its first breakout campaign, helping a TTRPG author reach readers across the country, or helping a bespoke TCG build the market and community support it needs to last.
Our current partners include Neuroscape, EMBER: Obsidian Protocol, Warlord: Saga of the Storm and Chrono Core. Each game is operating at a different stage, allowing Publisher Services to meet each project where it is and provide the support needed for its next step.
That support includes:
3PL & Fulfillment Services, providing U.S.-based warehousing, inventory management, order handling and shipping support.
Secondary Market Services, helping collectible games establish singles access through opening, sorting, cataloging, listing, pricing and ongoing market support.
Marketing Services, connecting games with an established audience of tabletop and TCG players through campaigns shaped by real hobby retail experience.
Premier Organized Play Services, building programs that can grow from local store play to regional events and championship-level experiences.
Together, these services help publishers carry the momentum of a successful launch into long-term product availability and community support.
One distinction is important: Gamers Guild is not, and never will be, a distributor.
Publisher Services does not replace the trusted distributors connecting publishers with retail stores. It provides fulfillment, secondary market, marketing, and community infrastructure while giving publishers more freedom to focus on creating their games.
