CD Projekt has sold its PC game store, GOG.com, to company co-founder Michał Kiciński.

GOG is known for selling DRM-free PC games. It offers new releases and also helps preserve classic games. The platform has been part of CD Projekt for more than 17 years.

CD Projekt announced that Kiciński will buy 100% of GOG’s shares for PLN 90.7 million ($25.2 million). CD Projekt and GOG have also signed a deal to keep releasing future CD Projekt Red games on the store.

Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski said the sale lets CD Projekt focus more on making games, while GOG stays safe.

“With our focus now fully on an ambitious development roadmap and expanding our franchises with new high-quality products, we felt this was the right time for this move,” he said.

“For a long time now, GOG has been operating independently. Now it’s going into very good hands — we are convinced that with the support of Michał Kiciński, one of GOG’s co-founders, its future will be full of great projects and successes.

“We would like to thank the GOG team for years of fruitful cooperation and wish them all the best. And to the GOG community, I say ‘see you around’, because our upcoming releases will naturally be available on GOG as well.”

In his own statement, Kiciński said GOG will keep its core values of “freedom, independence, and a genuine sense of ownership”.

He said that as the PC market moves toward closed systems, GOG’s model is “more relevant than ever”.

“I believe that CD Projekt, with its exceptional AAA games, will stand, as always, behind the GOG offering — making GOG the best place on the planet to purchase The Witcher and Cyberpunk games, both existing titles and the new ones we all anticipate so much,” he said.

Kiciński also shared his love for classic games and said they still offer great value today.

“Beyond preserving classics, GOG has always sought out new games with a retro spirit. I am personally involved in the development of a few games like that, and they will certainly make their strong appearance on GOG in 2026.”
