CD Projekt RED denies Sony acquisition rumors

We can only look at the recent purchases by Microsoft, Sony, and Embracer Group, as examples that remained under wraps until their formal announcements.

As for CD Projekt RED, the studio is currently committed to remaining independent despite the recent challenges it faced. The company isn't interested in acquisitions either as it focuses on expanding itself to work on multiple big AAA projects simultaneously with minimal compromise.

Besides, as we've already mentioned, CDPR is a publicly-traded company. Any buyout would require informing investors, becoming public knowledge swiftly.

However, there appears to be a silver lining to all of this. CDPR's stock price saw a recent uptick due to speculations. Sony's recently increased budget for mergers and acquisitions, particularly in the entertainment and video game sectors, fueled speculations that such a deal is indeed in the works. Not to mention, Bluepoint Games denied being bought out by Sony as well before its official confirmation.

But, again, Bluepoint Games wasn't a publicly-traded company - CDPR is.

Ultimately, while Sony isn't about to buy CDPR, this doesn't mean that it can't or it won't and it most certainly is looking to park its money somewhere, presumably in response to Microsoft's massive purchase.
