The microtransactions’ conundrum has made players really hate some games; other titles are not so invasive with this kind of practice, and the players are fine with it. The live-service sub-genre is a very complicated one; very few titles survive this kind of model.
In a recent interview, a CD Projekt Red executive made fans very happy with a really positive declaration: he said that there is no place for microtransactions in single-player games. The studio that created The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 keeps making players very happy.
With iconic games like The Witcher and Cyberpunk, CD Projekt Red takes a stand regarding microtransactions
CD Projekt Red has formed quite a reputation within the gaming community, and with a few missteps regarding the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, the studio has won a place in gamers hearts. With a ton of games in development, the company has a really bright future ahead. Fans really want to see how the next project will be; there are so many to choose from.
CD Projekt has talked about how it will be after the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC is released; it will be fully focused on new projects like The Witcher new trilogy. In a recent interview, the CFO of the studio talked about things like microtransactions and what will come next.
The CFO of CD Projekt Red, Piotr Nielubowicz, has talked to the Polish financial site stockwatch.pl about several things regarding the company. Thanks to the translation of the X user JuiceHead33, you can be sure of how CD Projekt Red stands about microtransactions.

Nielubowicz said the following: “We do not see a place for microtransactions in the case of single-player games.” This kind of declaration makes fans very happy for new CD Projekt Red games, knowing that no microtransactions will misplace future projects.
CD Projekt Red is making things right
Nielubowicz also replied to this, talking about how the title will not discard microtransactions for multiplayer based games. CD Projekt Red has at least one multiplayer title in development. But this is no surprise for any multiplayer game; it is one of the main reasons for multiplayer games to be a success: sell microtransactions.
The Polish studio is working on an incredible amount of games, including The Witcher Remake, a complete rework of the first title of the saga. A new The Witcher trilogy will continue in the same universe. A new Cyberpunk project with no details about it. A multiplayer game and an unknown new IP that will be completely original.
What are your thoughts about the declaration of the CD Projekt Red CFO?
