Cyberpunk 2077: Multiplayer and monetization discussed by CD Projekt Red

Intentionally distorted rumours have been circulating about multiplayer and the possible presence of microtransactions in the next CD Projekt Red title. Now, the Polish developer has spoken on the matter.

Cyberpunk 2077: Multiplayer and monetization discussed by CD Projekt Red

During a conference call with investors, CD Projekt Red President Adam Kiciński mentioned multiplayer in Cyberpunk 2077, as well as its monetization model.

These are two sensitive points for the community, as well as for the studio — which has always made an effort to stay away from practices performed by some of its competitors.

This is what he had to say at 27:14 of the call.

Regarding the monetization of the Cyberpunk multiplayer, we think it is currently too early to give details on the subject. The project is still in its infancy. We continue to experiment. This is our first big multiplayer payout game. We are studying different options and possibilities, it is not yet time to focus on something specific now.

This only concerns the multiplayer aspect of Cyberpunk 2077 — the main campaign is purely a single-player experience. Simply purchasing the game will be enough to enjoy this form of the game.

It's likely that even developers still do not know in what form microtransactions will eventually be applied to the multiplayer side of the game, if at all, but it remains a sensitive topic.
