CD Projekt Red, the studio behind The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, apparently has no intentions of implementing microtransactions in its single-player games.

CD Projekt will release its official mod editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt this month.

The official mod editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Steam is now open for playtesting.

CD Projekt RED has essentially committed to none of its future single player games featuring microtransactions as the Polish developer states it doesn't «see a place for microtransactions in the case of single player games». The studio's CFO Piotr Nielubowicz said as such in an investor's chat via StockWatch.pl, but the micro-purchases are something the team could explore for online experiences: «We do not rule out that we will use this solution in the future in the case of multiplayer projects.»

CD Projekt Red's chief operating officer Piotr Nielubowicz has said that the studio's single-player games may never have microtransactions, but its inclusion in multiplayer projects hasn't been ruled out.

Following CD Projekt RED's recent quarterly report, where we learned that The Witcher 4 (Polaris) is still in pre-production, a couple of executives were invited by the Polish financial site StockWatch to answer a few questions.

A senior CD Projekt Red official has gone on record to state that the studio doesn't believe microtransactions have a place in single-player games. And while that move effectively reiterated the company's long-standing stance on game monetization, CD Projekt Red isn't entirely ruling out the possibility of implementing microtransactions in the future.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is seemingly a superb game, when it's not buggy or surprising its players with microtransactions.

CD Projekt Red's chief financial officer, Piotr Nielubowicz, has said that the company doesn't "see a place" for microtransactions in its single-player games.

Microtransactions have become an unavoidable reality in games in the modern context, especially with game development budgets continuing to balloon to ridiculous degrees, but even so, seeing in-game monetization in single-player experiences never quite sits right with the vast majority. We had a very recent example of that with Dragon’s Dogma 2, a game that, despite widespread acclaim, still drew plenty of backlash for its post-launch inclusion of microtransactions. Not all players in the industry see the value in such a strategy, however.

CD Projekt's chief financial officer, Piotr Nielubowicz, says the company does «not see a place for microtransactions in the case of single-player games».

There are a lot of upcoming CD Projekt Red games, and if you're worried that the studio might change its ways and go all-in on microtransactions in a fit of capitalism, don't worry. The studio says it doesn't see a place for microtransactions in single-player games - only multiplayer titles.

CD Projekt chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz called 2023 the second best year in the company's history as the studio posted net profits of more than $120 million in its full year earnings. Nielubowicz credited the release of Phantom Liberty, which he says was purchased by around a quarter of Cyberpunk 2077 owners, as well as ongoing interest in The Witcher, for CD Projekt's success.

Two thirds of CD Projekt are now working on the next game in the Witcher series, codenamed Polaris.

CD Projekt Red has announced a free trial of Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

CD Projekt has provided an update on the next mainline Witcher game and its Cyberpunk 2077 sequel.

As it looks to the future, CD Projekt Red wants The Witcher 4and other new projects to be «something that we've never made at this scale, historically.»

With work on Cyberpunk 2077 winding down post-Phantom Liberty and more resources now being shifted to The Witcher 4, CD Projekt Red hopes to expand its development operations to a scale "not precedented in the history of our company."

One in five players who own the base game have Phantom Liberty.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners helped revitalize CDPR's troubled RPG and set up a wealth of Easter eggs for later Cyberpunk 2077 updates. Lots of fans still want a season two, but nobody involved with the anime has ever hinted at a follow-up. In fact, last we heard, "there's no such thing" as a season two. But try telling that to the brave mad-lad who just asked CDPR's CEO and CFO if Edgerunners season two will air next year. 

The Witcher 4, codenamed Polaris, is now the biggest project going at developer CD Projekt Red, and it looks like around half the studio's devs are now working on the hotly anticipated RPG.

Cyberpunk 2077's Idris Elba-starring expansion Phantom Liberty has sold 4.3 million copies since it launched, developer CD Projekt Red has confirmed.

CD Projekt RED has spent nearly three years releasing updates and patches for Cyberpunk 2077, some of which – like the recent Update 2.0 – have been quite significant. The developer has managed to turn around what started as a thoroughly disappointing experience into a legitimately good one, and sure enough, it’s spent the money to reflect that.

CD Projekt spent $125 million on Cyberpunk 2077 post-launch, repairing the game's reputation with the Edgerunners and Update 2.0 patches alongside the well-received Phantom Liberty expansion.

Ambitious sci-fi RPG Cyberpunk 2077 has sold more than 25 million copies to date.

Cyberpunk 2077's first and only DLC, Phantom Liberty, cost CD Projekt Red at least $85 million in development and marketing expenses. 

With Cyberpunk 2077 receiving its last major update and its only paid expansion in Phantom Liberty (which sold three million in its first week), CD Projekt RED is looking to the future, specifically Project Orion. Announced in October 2022, the sequel promised to prove the “full power and potential of the Cyberpunk universe.”

CD Projekt has seemingly hinted at plans to further collaborate with animation company Studio Trigger.

CD Projekt Red has revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 25 million copies since its 2020 launch, as Phantom Liberty officially clears three million in its first week.

CD Project has provided an update on its plans for Cyberpunk 2077‘s sequel, which is codenamed Project Orion.

Cyberpunk 2077 has cleared 25 million sales, CD Projekt claimed on Thursday.

CD Projekt Red has announced its half year financials alongside some guidance on what its various teams are working on now, and will be in the future. The figures cover the period up to June 30 2023, and show a decrease in revenue and profit (hardly surprising given the absence of new releases in this time) which CDPR reckons will turn around with the release of Cyberpunk 2077: Project Liberty. 

CD Projekt experienced a decrease in its overall sales revenue and net profit during the first half of 2023, its latest earnings report showed.
