CD Projekt Red’s facing a class-action lawsuit over Cyberpunk 2077

The Rosen Law Firm has started a legal battle with CD Projekt Red, the company behind The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, over lying to investors about the state of Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems. 

Before the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red didn’t showcase any footage of the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game, and neither did they release these versions of the game to reviewers before the game released. The Rosen Firm’s lawsuit alleges that CD Projekt Red lied to investors by failing to disclose that the game was “virtually unplayable” on baseline consoles due to “enormous number of bugs”. 

The performance of Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 systems has led to a huge number of refunds (and the removal of the game from the PlayStation Store), lowering the value of CD Projekt Red as a company. As a publically traded company, CD Projekt Red has a duty to speak honestly to their investors, making CD Projekt Red’s lack of disclosure regarding the Xbox One and PS4 versions of Cyberpunk 2077 hugely damaging to investors, who otherwise believed that CD Projekt Red was selling a top-quality AAA product. 

The Rosen Firm’s lawsuit seeks damages for investors of CD Projekt Red over their alleged deception. More information about the lawsuit is available here.
