While many developers are focused on service-based games, recent years have seen a resurgence of high-quality single-player titles, demonstrating their enduring appeal and market viability.  Many players simply prefer the immersive experience of playing solo.

CD Projekt Red (CDPR), the Polish studio behind acclaimed franchises like The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, recently affirmed their commitment to single-player games in their latest financial report.  They believe the demand for these immersive experiences will remain strong.

According to the report, CDPR states: "We recognize the evolving nature of the gaming market, yet we firmly believe that top-tier single-player games, rooted in compelling narratives and rich worlds, will continue to thrive.  Our experience and established brands, such as Cyberpunk and The Witcher, both of which we are eager to further develop, will enable us to maintain a strong market position and chart a promising course for the future."

CDPR's Joint CEO, Michał Nowakowski, also emphasized their commitment to collaborating with leading technology companies and innovators to deliver exceptional gaming experiences to their fans.

Furthermore, CDPR has confirmed that they will not be utilizing generative AI in their upcoming projects, including The Witcher 4 and the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel.

Interestingly, following the disappointing reception of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady Studios has also announced a return to their acclaimed Batman single-player game franchise.
