CD PROJEKT RED is a video game developer founded in 2002 that specialises in narrative-driven role-playing games. The company operates studios in Warsaw, Kraków, and Wrocław in Poland, alongside offices in Boston and Vancouver, employing over 1,200 professionals across these locations.
The studio is best known for The Witcher series, which has sold over 75 million copies and accumulated more than 250 Game of the Year awards across its releases. The company also developed Cyberpunk 2077, a first-person RPG that has surpassed 30 million copies sold. Both franchises demonstrate the studio's focus on open-world design and complex narrative experiences.
CD PROJEKT RED's approach centres on creating games with deep storylines and nonlinear gameplay that players can engage with for extended periods. The studio operates independently and rejects annualised development cycles, instead prioritising creative freedom and the willingness to tackle unfamiliar technical challenges. This philosophy extends across the company's work in open-world RPGs, narrative design, and related interactive entertainment.
