CD Projekt is a Warsaw-based company engaged in the development, publishing and distribution of interactive entertainment software. The firm operates through two main divisions: CD Projekt Red, its in-house game development studio, and GOG.com, a digital distribution platform offering DRM-free PC and Mac titles. CD Projekt focuses on creating story-driven role-playing games, while GOG.com serves as a storefront and community hub for independent and major studio releases.
CD Projekt Red is best known for The Witcher series, a fantasy RPG franchise based on the novels of Andrzej Sapkowski, with its third installment earning critical acclaim for narrative depth and technical innovation. In December 2020, the studio released Cyberpunk 2077, a sprawling open-world action RPG set in Night City, which quickly became one of the most anticipated titles in the industry. Ongoing updates and expansions support both franchises and reflect the company’s emphasis on long-term player engagement.
The company was founded in 1994 by Marcin Iwiński and Michał Kiciński, initially importing and localizing foreign video games for Poland. CD Projekt shifted into original game development in the early 2000s, launching the first Witcher game in 2007. In 2008, the firm introduced GOG.com (formerly Good Old Games), expanding its business model to include direct digital distribution and building a global customer base. Today, its products reach players in North America, Europe, Asia and beyond.
Leadership at CD Projekt includes President of the Management Board Adam Kiciński, who has overseen both creative and strategic initiatives since joining the company’s executive team. The group maintains headquarters in Warsaw, with additional development and publishing offices in Wrocław and Vancouver, and a remote workforce spanning multiple regions. Through its combined focus on premium game development and consumer-friendly digital distribution, CD Projekt continues to position itself as a prominent player in the global gaming market.
