Sony may be preparing to add another exclusive series to PlayStation. According to new rumors, CD Projekt Red, the developer of popular games like The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, could be acquired by Sony.
Rumor: Sony wants to buy CD Projekt Red
A Twitter account known for its accurate leaks recently made a striking claim about Sony. According to the tweet, the tech giant is interested in purchasing CD Projekt Red studios, which could potentially make the Witcher series an exclusive game for PlayStation.
Rumors about Sony acquiring CDPR first emerged in March of this year. However, no concrete evidence supporting this claim has been found in the past few months. The latest rumor suggests that Sony is actively investigating this acquisition. The shift of Activision-Blizzard to Xbox has created pressure on PlayStation, which might be a driving factor behind Sony’s interest.

We know that Microsoft has been trying to acquire Activision-Blizzard for some time. As a result, players speculate that Sony wants to bring games like The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 to its platform. Even if the acquisition were to happen, it’s important not to disregard the possibility of The Witcher being available on other platforms.
Additionally, there are claims that Bend Studio, a studio affiliated with Sony, has shelved the development of Days Gone 2, an exclusive PlayStation game. It is said that the studio is working on a different series instead, deviating from the survival game genre.
Until Sony and CDPR make an official statement regarding a potential acquisition, it’s important to consider all of this as speculation. We also know that Sony’s attempt to acquire CD Projekt Red would be subject to scrutiny by competition authorities.
