CD Projekt RED at a Glance

CD Projekt RED is a Polish developer and publisher founded in 2002 that has released 23 games on PlayPile since becoming active in 2007. While the studio started slowly with only three titles in the 2000s, their output grew significantly to reach eleven games in the 2010s before settling at five releases in the 2020s so far. Their catalog spans many platforms, though they focus heavily on PC with sixteen titles available there. They also support PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Mac systems to a lesser extent, with fewer releases for mobile or older console generations. The company concentrates almost entirely on the role-playing genre, which accounts for twenty-one of their games. Adventure is the second most common category with eighteen entries, followed by shooters with five. Their rating history shows a strong preference for high-quality work, as eleven out of fourteen rated titles score 80 or higher. The average IGDB rating across these games sits at 82.2 out of 100. There are no poor or mixed ratings in their portfolio, and only three titles fall into the good range between 60 and 79. Several specific releases highlight their reputation for excellence. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt launched in 2015 with a score of 92.8, and its Complete Edition from 2016 followed closely at 92.4. Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty arrived in September 2023 with a rating of 91.9. The studio also achieved strong scores for The Witcher 2 in 2012, with both the Enhanced and Dark Editions receiving over 86 points. However, their main entry into the cyberpunk genre, Cyberpunk 2077, released in December 2020 with a score of 79. This suggests that while they generally deliver great products, some major launches may start lower than their usual standards before improvements or expansions arrive. Recent activity shows they are still supporting older games, such as the release of the 10th Anniversary Edition for The Witcher 3 in October 2025. They also released a smaller title called Roach Race in September 2022. Despite their focus on large role-playing experiences, they have dipped into other genres with single titles like strategy, card and board games, MOBA, racing, and platformers. This data indicates a developer that has maintained high standards over two decades while occasionally exploring different gameplay styles outside their core identity.
