With CD Projekt Red having ownership of the digital distribution platform known as GOG, some have speculated that the video game developer could decide to eschew distributing its forthcoming project Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam in a bid to increase revenue and boost traffic for its own service. Fortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case, as CD Projekt Red's CEO Adam Kiciński recently announced that the game would not be exclusive to GOG, and will release for Steam as well.

This much was confirmed during a presentation given at the Pareto Securities Gaming Seminar, with the talk from Kiciński and CD Projekt Red's CFO Piotr Nielubowicz beginning at the 3:15:43 mark in the video below. During the address, the developer's executives discuss the firm's origins, its growth, and its current assets, such as GOG, The Witcher franchise, Gwent, and, of course, Cyberpunk 2077, stating that CD Projekt Red won't favor GOG as the sole location for the release of any of its games, including the upcoming RPG, in order to not alienate fans.

Considering the fact that CD Projekt Red's previous titles such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and all of its DLC were released across multiple platforms, it makes sense as to why the company would opt to make Cyberpunk 2077 available to other distribution services other than just GOG. After all, making the forthcoming RPG obtainable through more avenues gives gamers more options for purchase, which creates more opportunities to generate sales of the game.

All things considered, while the news of Cyberpunk 2077 not being a GOG exclusive will surely put some minds at ease, there's no doubt that many others are simply waiting for CD Projekt Red to reveal more about the game. The company has confirmed that it will have a presence at E3 2018, so it's a safe bet to make that the forthcoming RPG will be on display in some capacity at what many consider to be "the Super Bowl of video games."

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently in development, but is without an official release date.
