The investors thus accused the studio, according to the original charge, of having lied, as well as to consumers, about the state of Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 and Xbox One consoles “. According to a plaintiffs’ consultant, the damages could have amounted to a maximum of $11 million, at the rate of $0.49 per unit invested.
Just over two years later, the two sides finally agreed to settle the case out of court with the much less colossal, but still significant, sum of $1.85 million. However, the approval of the agreement will not be fully recorded until the deadline of June 1, 2023.
In any case, this removes a big thorn from the side of CD Projekt RED. Despite its efforts over the past two years, the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 risk of branding the studio with a hot iron for a long time to come. Hope the extension Phantom Liberty will meet a happier fate, as well as the many other projects of the Polish studio in the next few years.
