Development cost
The development costs are said to have been in the amount of 300+ million USD. That is inaccurate. That is merely the total budget used for the game, but that also included additional costs such as distribution costs of third parties. The development costs themselves only accounted for 55% of this sum according to an internal document of CDPR. The rest was marketing and PR budget. One of the two sources cited is not available without registration/payment and the other one cites another unreliable source: a bank person that supposedly was involved in loaning the money to CDPR. Here's a better source imo:

The internal document the above site links to clarifies this issue:

"On the next slide so number 7 you can see that the scope of the project was naturally reflected in the size of its overall budget of 1.2 billion zlotys. 55% of that was spent on direct development costs plus the studio’s overhead expenses allocated to this project. The rest is the total marketing and communication budget covered by both CD PROJEKT and our physical distribution partners."
