Praiseworthy Developers is a new series that we’re starting here at TechRatpor that will hopefully become a fairly regular thing. How often it will come out is undecided at this time, but we would love to get feedback from all of you about what you think of the idea! (And comment below with developers we should cover!) It’s basically just as the title says, looking at developers worthy of our praise.
The first developer to look at is perfect for introducing the topic: CD Projekt RED. For those of you who do not know, CD Projekt RED is responsible for creating the very popular and critically acclaimed Witcher series, the next installment of which we should see in February of next year.
The latest revenue report from CD Projekt Group shows Xbox only made up 10% of sales for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 in 2025.
3x less sales than Playstation.
3x less consoles sold than Playstation.
Per captita, it averages out that the same number of users are buying CDP games regardless of platform, no?
The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.
Simply not worth it
A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.
Hey it’s ok. They are really impressed with XBOx’s new CEO so exclusivity is on the way. 😂
Ok but I mean be logical ... modern PC, Switch, PS4 PS5 then you have XBOX, of all of those XBOX is probably only 10 percent... I mean, what do you expect? 10 percent increase in sales is still nothing to sneeze at, remember - this is CD projekt red and they sell a lot of software. 10 percent of their sales is probably what most studios DREAM of selling .... just playing devils advocate..... its easy to say LOL haha XBOX.... but.. I mean we know what it is at this point. I havent bought on since my xbox one X and before that I only used other peoples xboxes since the OG XBOX and stick with PC and Playstation and switch OLED, but .. I mean.... theres nothing WRONG with an xbox considering its just not the best - but they work fine. make no mistake.
Replies(2)CD Projekt announced its financial results for 2025, while the company looks to its future by investing in The Witcher 4, Cyberpunk 2, and "Hadar."
During the Q&A following CD Projekt's financial results, the developer's executives shared some info on unannounced projects, the impression on the new Xbox boss Asha Sharma, and the upcoming PS5 Pro upgrade for Cyberpunk 2077.
I’m trying to understand the relevance in their impression of XBOX’s new boss. Maybe I’m just missing something.
Yeah, what some of the best game developers on the market think of her and what she intends to do after meeting her is totally irrelevant. 😂
