In a review by Marcus Estrada of "Hardcore Gamer", he praised "Planetarian" for having a "beautiful story," gorgeous CGs and a soundtrack that "sets a melancholic, but hopeful mood fitting with the story."

"PC Gamer" stated about "Hellblade"s success that "the news can only be positive. Perhaps if other developers see an experimental game like "Hellblade" finding commercial success then they'll be more likely to take risks on their own titles—and that, ultimately, will lead to more interesting games". To celebrate World Mental Health Day on October 10, 2017, Ninja Theory donated all profit made from the sales of "Hellblade" on that day to Rethink Mental Illness. By June 2018, the game had sold over a million copies across all three platforms.

"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" composer Marcin Przybyłowicz was chosen to write the score.
Role playing game publisher R. Talsorian Games, owner of the "Cyberpunk 2020" franchise, trademarked the word "Cyberpunk" in the United States in 2012. Video game developer CD Projekt, which is developing "Cyberpunk 2077", bought the U.S. trademark from R. Talsorian Games, and has filed a trademark in the European Union.
CD Projekt Red was granted subventions of US$7 million by the Polish government, whose funding application confirmed the employment of REDengine 4. In June 2017, data containing early designs were stolen and threatened to be released to the public, but the developer refused to comply with the ransom demand. The development reportedly reached a milestone in late 2017, and in March 2018, a new studio was opened in Wrocław to aid the production. That July, nearly 350 employees were developing it, and by the following month, the story was fully realised and could facilitate a complete playthrough. In October 2018, CD Projekt Red announced the establishment of a long-term partnership with Canadian studio Digital Scapes to craft additional technology for "Cyberpunk 2077". Originally to launch with multiplayer, this was later assigned to research and development, with the single-player since prioritised. The first-person perspective was selected to immerse players more than a third-person view would allow, given the detail the developer devoted to the open world. Cutscenes and gameplay were made to seamlessly blend together, also for the purpose of immersion. "Cyberpunk 2077" will feature full nudity, which game director Adam Badowski said encapsulates the theme of transhumanism—"the body is no longer sacrum [sacred]; it's profanum [profane]". The quest designers, who oversee the development of their own ideas, resolved to make the quest system allow players to decide the order in which quests are partaken of. Side quests are often made from unused parts of the main story. Animation and facial animation systems were remade to better generate lip syncing and muscle movement; motion capture was also improved. Environments are created from prefabricated designs for scalability's sake. Reused models have altered colours and details.
"Cyberpunk 2077" was announced in May 2012. In January 2013, a teaser trailer was released, reaching twelve million views in its first week. The game was confirmed for Microsoft Windows the same year, and for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at E3 2018, where they revealed a second trailer and a media-exclusive, pre-alpha gameplay demonstration, released to the public in August of that year, following its appearance at Gamescom. The game will be distributed in North America by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Bilkom is publishing it in Turkey. Bandai Namco Entertainment will act as publisher for twenty-four European countries.
