CD Projekt Red co-CEO admits it "indefinitely" "lost the faith" of some fans after Cyberpunk 2077

CD Projekt Red’s co-CEO has acknowledged that the studio has ‘indefinitely lost the faith’ of some fans following the troubled launch of *Cyberpunk 2077*. In interviews with outlets including *Eurogamer* and *GamesIndustry.biz*, the executive described the backlash as ‘fair’ and expressed uncertainty about whether the company has fully recovered its reputation. The comments come as *The Witcher 4*—the studio’s next major release—is positioned as a potential turning point to regain trust.

Coverage emphasizes the studio’s cautious approach to future projects, with the co-CEO stating in *GamingBolt* and *Polygon* that CD Projekt Red has ‘no plans to flood the market’ with new games. The focus remains on delivering a strong *Witcher 4* launch, though the CEO admitted in *GamesRadar+* and *Kotaku* that they are ‘not 100 percent convinced’ the studio has completed its ‘redemption arc.’ Industry analysts and fan reactions will likely hinge on the performance of *The Witcher 4* at launch. What to watch next: The success—or failure—of *The Witcher 4*’s launch metrics, player reception, and post-release support will determine whether CD Projekt Red can restore confidence.

If the game underperforms, the studio may face prolonged backlash; if it exceeds expectations, it could mark a pivotal moment for the company’s relationship with its audience.
