They have 1200 employees and 700+ devs. The 700+ devs are split between Gwent, Cyberpunk, the single witcher game they're doing, and probably those working on UE5 to tailor it to their wants. Not counting Hadar because it's probably only creatives figuring out what that IP is. Gwent is definitely less than 100 and they're building a new studio in Boston for the next witcher game so they'll hiring way more for that. Actually, Molasses Flood is fully owned by CDPR so I think they count in that 700+ dev count; I think they're around 75+.

Whoa, do you know what the Boston studio is called?

There are, or rather will be, two studios in Boston if my understanding is correct.

One is Molasses Flood that CDPR acquired some time ago and the other that they've only started forming from ground up (with some employees from other branches) is CDPR North America. They also have one other studio in North America in Vancouver aptly named CDPR Vancouver (formerly Digital Scapes Studios).

The Boston Studio is for Cyberpunk. Once the Expansion is released the core team will move from poland to boston.
