Through the popular Netflix series the witcher game recently experienced a strong boost and broke its own record in the number of players.
Just a few weeks ago, CD Projekt became the most valuable company in Poland. However, this was at least in part due to the effects of the Corona crisis, which caused the Polish economy to collapse.
Ubisoft also had to struggle with this, although the income from in-game purchases rose steeply. The French developer and publisher also owns numerous top brands such as Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry. Last year Ubisoft had over ten times as many employees as CD Projekt.
By the way, CD Projekt wants to do without microtransactions in Cyberpunk 2077, instead there are chargeable DLCs like Witcher 3. The Open World RPG is scheduled for release on September 17th.
