"With The Witcher 3 we knew that we would have to reach a wider audience," Gilewski told VG247 in a recent interview. "We needed to be on the new consoles and in particular the PS4, because a lot of people are attracted to them."
"It's only with the next-gen consoles that we can do much more," Gilewski added later when explaining how the new-gen tech was allowing the studio to broaden their horizons with regards to Wild Hunt.
"Open-world was something we've always wanted to do and we believed that was the missing element for this story. To make it truly immersive we had to let people explore it their way. We always wanted this but we couldn't because of technical limitations and because of the experience and size of the team."
Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.
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.

According to Polish podcasters Rock and Boris, CD Projekt RED is reportedly planning a third DLC for The Witcher 3, set to release in 2026.
Sign me up. I haven’t played it since it released on PS4 so I could go for another run with a new DLC.
Ouch.
Pretty straightforward with that.....imo though on whichever console I'm sure it will sell well and be awsome....still, with these comments I want too see the "resolution gate" if any....or will we see another UbiSoft parity situation.
This game will run at the same resolution on both consoles only for the sake of parity, because just like ubisoft CD projekt red have a deal with microsoft so this only makes sense, I hope I am wrong but if it turns out that way then I'll skip this game too
#PS4NoParity !!
Hope Sony pays them to outsource a team to port the first Witcher to the PS4
The Witcher series is shaping up to be one of the greatest series ever.
Tw1 brought a lot to the table and really pushed the action rpg
Tw2 blew everything out the water
I expect Tw3 to make every developer go back to the drawing board especially action rpg developers.
Graphics wise tw3 is gonna really challenge my PCS to get 45 fps at 4k but if uber sampling is back then 4k is out of the equation as early screen shots show a huge boost in graphical detail
CDPR are awesome devs and I can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077 also
