Forbes: CD Projekt is Europe's most expensive gaming company. The Polish developer is capitalised at USD 3.5 billion

The French company Ubisoft owns a huge number of popular franchises and dozens of studios with more than 20,000 employees. And yet, Ubisoft is not the capitalisation leader among European game companies.

Here's What We Know

Forbes journalist Paul Tassi has conducted an analysis of gaming companies and concluded that the most expensive developer in Europe is the Polish company CD Projekt (about 1,200 employees).

At the moment, the Poles own only two franchises The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, but their capitalization exceeds 3.5 billion dollars, while Ubisoft with its super-popular franchises Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, The Crew, The Division, Anno 1800, Just Dance and many others is estimated only at 3 billion dollars.

It is difficult to draw any conclusion from this, but according to the latest information Ubisoft is considering merger options with other companies, while CD Projekt insists on its independence.
