Will new CD Projekt RED games be a PlayStation console exclusive? According to an insider, Sony has repeatedly voiced an offer to buy the Polish studio
Analyst and insider Rythian reported interesting and important information for the game industry: Sony (allegedly) repeatedly approached SD Projekt with a purchase offer.
Rythian believes that the Polish company has announced five new projects at once in order to raise the value of its shares.
It's not a rumor, Sony has approached CD Projekt multiple times. Hence why CD did that entire thing with announcing several The Witcher games alongside new Cyberpunk, it's to boost their stock before acquisition. https://t.co/FBzNdJEfqU

There's no official confirmation of this information yet, but there's not a single reason why Sony couldn't make such an offer to CD Projekt, since making a conditional new part of The Witcher or Cyberpunk a console exclusive for the PlayStation would be a great strategic business decision.
Plus, the idea of buying CD Projekt fits into Sony's global plans to acquire major game studios.
