From its humble beginnings as a small Polish book series in 1992, The Witcher has exploded into a multimedia franchise. Books, songs, a TV series and of course video games of various genres have turned The Witcher into a bona fide global sensation. Now, two years after their last installment, CD Projekt RED are back with The Witcher III: Wild Hunt. While the game is still a few months away from release, I got to sit down and play a bit of Geralt’s next adventure and after almost three hours with the game, I can say that I am excited and cannot wait for the game’s May 19th release date. So sit back, relax and let me regale you with tales of monster hunters, horses and giant bears.
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.
Never played a Witcher game before and this looks interesting. Should I play previous installments first or can I jump into this one?
Nice I will not get this at launch as the pc version drops in price very fast like previous Witcher games.
