CD Projekt Shareholders Approve Name Change to CD Projekt Red
The name change marks the end of CD Projekt's identity as a publisher and cements its focus on game development under the CD Projekt Red brand.
Reporting from 1 sources: Automaton.
CD Projekt held a shareholder meeting on June 23, 2026, and approved a resolution to change the company name to CD Projekt Red, unifying it with its game development studio. The change formalizes the company's shift from publishing to development, as the publishing division was dissolved and GOG.com was sold. The new name will take effect after the articles of association are amended.
The company was founded in 1994 as a game distributor, and the CD in its name referred to being the first in Poland to distribute games on CD. At a shareholder meeting on June 23, 2026, the resolution to change the corporate name to CD Projekt Red was approved with overwhelming support. The name change unifies the parent company with its development studio, which was established in 2002 and became known for The Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077. The publishing division, internally called CD Projekt Blue, was dissolved during The Witcher 3's development, and GOG.com was sold in December 2025. With the company's business now almost entirely development, the separate name no longer served a purpose.
