Cyberpunk 2077 Class-Action Lawsuit Settled for $1.85 million

A settlement has been reached in the class-action lawsuit brought by investors of Cyberpunk 2077, and CD Projekt Red will give the plaintiffs $1.85 million.

Investors who lost money on Cyberpunk 2077 claimed that CD Projekt Red concealed the game’s problematic launch status from them in a class-action lawsuit filed back in 2020.

The settlement amount will include “settlement administration costs, taxes, attorney’s fees and costs,” as well as all other qualifying class members. Investors who bought CD Projekt Red stock between January 16, 2020 and December 17, 2020 are referred to as eligible class members.

After a bumpy and unstable launch, Sony removed Cyberpunk 2077 from their store, an unexpected move that caused CD Projekt Red’s stock prices to fall. Later, after CD Projekt Red published updates that addressed many of the issues, Cyberpunk 2077 was re-added to PlayStation stores.

Cyberpunk 2077 was originally going to contain a multiplayer element, however CD Projekt Red decided against it in order to focus on fixing flaws in the single game.
