CD Projekt benefited from the calming of the situation in the Middle East. Is this a sign that investors should now direct capital toward Polish gaming?
CD Projekt shares before the next surge or correction?
Shares of the creators of "The Witcher" rose throughout the previous week. The expected peace in the Middle East helped: Donald Trump told the world that the Strait of Hormuz is open and suggested that the war with Iran is slowly coming to an end. As a result, almost the entire GPW turned green. At the end of Friday’s session, the main indices were up.
Problems may arise this week, as it is uncertain whether further peace talks can be arranged on the Iran‑USA line. Tehran claims it is not ready for negotiations, but, as Pakistani media report, "an Iranian delegation is expected to arrive on Tuesday despite its public denial."
Consequently, the Monday session could still be marked by gains, including for CD Projekt. That is very good news for other companies in the gaming sector.
"Sector leaders can often pull smaller entities along, especially in relatively small and dynamic markets like the GPW. The behavior of CD Projekt Red’s share price could be one of those growth drivers," said Kamil Szczepański, XTB analyst, in our interview.

The expert also noted that capital is slowly returning to the Warsaw market, benefiting the entire gaming sector.
But why would CD Projekt still rise? Of course, the foundation for this is peace in the Middle East. Moreover, the company boasts very good financial results.
"In 2025, CD Projekt Group’s sales revenue was 867 million PLN, and the consolidated net profit reached 595 million PLN. (...) 2025 was the second best year in the Group’s history in terms of net profit," the company said at the end of March.
"In 2025, the Group invested over 513 million PLN in future productions," the same statement added, indicating that the largest part of the budget went to "The Witcher 4" and the second part to "Cyberpunk 2077". In addition, the market still believes in the launch of an add‑on to "Witcher 3", which would serve as a narrative bridge between the "trilogy" and the "quintet". However, it should be noted that the company’s management has not confirmed that this mythical DLC is being developed (they were only leaked by leakers).
Investors can therefore expect the company to maintain high profitability—especially in the context of upcoming major title releases: "Cyberpunk 2077 2" and "The Witcher 4", which will open a new series of games from the world created by Andrzej Sapkowski.
Recently, the company Big Cheese Studio also regained strength, having released "Cooking Simulator 2 Better Together" on March 31, a title heavily criticized by players. As a result, the share price fell by almost 50%. During Friday’s session, bulls began to lift it, which could herald the beginning of an interesting trend for gaming investors.
