Cyberpunk 2077’s class-action lawsuit from its investors has reached a settlement, and CD Projekt Red, the developer of the game, will pay out $1.85 million to the plaintiffs. The lawsuit was filed in 2020 by investors who claimed that the buggy launch state of the game was hidden from them, causing them to lose money. The settlement sum will cover eligible class members, which are defined as any investor who purchased CD Projekt Red stock between January 16, 2020 and December 17, 2020. The settlement will also cover expenses such as “settlement administration costs, taxes, attorney’s fees and costs.”

The launch of Cyberpunk 2077 was plagued by bugs and issues, leading to Sony removing the game from its store, which resulted in a drop in CD Projekt Red’s stock prices. The game was later re-released on PlayStation storefronts after the developer released patches to fix many of the problems. CD Projekt Red had originally intended for Cyberpunk 2077 to have a multiplayer component, but those plans were scrapped in order to prioritize fixing existing bugs in the standalone game.

In 2023, the game is getting an expansion called Phantom Liberty, which will be a paid DLC. Currently, no other expansions are planned for the game. CD Projekt Red is also working on the Witcher 4, but the release date is not yet known and is expected to be beyond 2025.
