The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has two hundred hours of content, maybe more depending on the player, and definitely more when you take its DLC into account. Let that sink in for a minute. According to howlongtobeat.com The Witcher takes players on average about 65 hours to do everything, and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings 56 hours. So why the heck is The Witcher 3 so much bigger?
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.
Why is The Witcher 3 so long? Because a lot of time and effort went into crafting an experience well worth the asking price, that's why.
"Why is The Witcher 3 So Long?"
Wrong question.
A good question would be: Why are most 60-70€ (or $60 in the USA) games so short?
I just purchased The Order 1886 second hand for 30€. After playing it, I was pissed that I wasted 30€ for a 7 hour game (thank God I didn't purchase it full price). The dam story of the game is not even complete. I'll lend it to a friend and after that try to resell it.
I have to admit that after going to another zone on the map I got a little bit shook on how much content was in the game but then I had a feeling of joy.
Knowing that it's so much content left and the game is so fun.
Open world games are what FPS where last generation and I love it!
Batman on deck with MGS5 Batting with bases loaded.there is no better hobby then games(opinion)
I don't answer stupid questions sorry. Well, sarcasm aside, it is because a lot of hard work went into creating this amazing world. RPGs tend to be the most bang for your buck you will get. I believe this is why shooters tend to have MP when some games do not need it. For example, Tomb Raider did not need MP ever, but sometimes publishers feel like they need to justify the price tag.
Because it's aN RPG.
