Cyberpunk 2077's class action lawsuit settlement has been approved

Investors will get damages

Cyberpunk 2077launched in a sorry state, prompting rending of garments by gamers and a class action lawsuit from CD Projekt Red investors. That suit alleged that CDPR had “made materially false or misleading statements” regarding the game, particularly as related to the condition of its console release, and sought damages.

Now a proposed settlement has been approved by a federal judge in California’s Central District. The settlement reached will see CDPR pay out $1.85 million USD (around £1.52m GBP), or roughly $0.49 per eligible share.

In its years since release, Cyberpunk 2077 has been patched several times on all platforms, including PC. It has also received a second surge of players due to the popularity of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime. Later this year, CDPR will release Cyberpunk’s first major expansion, Phantom Liberty,which stars Idris Elba.
