Cyberpunk 2 Associate Game Director Paweł Sasko reveals that half of the quest team at CD PROJEKT RED are former modders.

In a recent livestream on the official CDPR YouTube channel, held on October 21, which was dedicated to the new Cyberpunk 2077 update inspired by the second season of the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Sasko expressed his support for modding, calling it a "foot-in-the-door technique and a gateway into gamedev," and shared that many of CDPR's current developers previously created mods: "We actually hired so many modders. I would say, at this point, half of the quest team is all former modders."

The stream also touched on updates for Cyberpunk 2077, including cross-platform mod support for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S.

Last year, CDPR expanded its teams working on Cyberpunk 2 and The Witcher 4. Previously, the developer said that Cyberpunk 2 was in pre-production. The sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, initially codenamed Project Orion, was unveiled in October 2022 and is being developed with Unreal Engine 5 by a North American division comprising studios in Boston and Vancouver.

Cyberpunk 2077 is CDPR's top-performing title with over 40 million copies sold. It is getting a standalone VR experience, co-developed by CDPR and Zero Latency VR, and a live-action film adaptation, which is in development at Paramount.
