Sam Foxall from VGU writes: 'After some delays, CD Projekt RED’s magnum opus, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, has finally graced our presence. Is it the grand finale to this high fantasy trilogy or is it a disappointing climax?'
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.
For me its a dissapointment, i think the actual controlls destroys the hole game.
When you stear Geralt, he feels so stiff, add a little inputlag to the game and you got yourself a horrible control design.
Im an RPG fan and Thats my favourite genre btw.
i was looking forward to this game the most this year alongside Bloodborne.
The game has quality, indeed. From the graphics to the voice acting, a huge openworld with Loads of Sidequests, the game is a quality game. No doubt about that. But for me personaly, if the controlls doesnt fit my taste, automatically the game loss my interest, gameplay/controlls for me is the most important aspect of videogames generally, and the Witcher controlls feels to Clunky and stiff for me. I don't get all the reviews that say that the combat and the controll system is tight and perfect, are they biased or blind to the game, I dont know?
I've been playing video games since the mid 80s, I never have any problems to learn or adapt to a certain control system. I got a quick learning curve.
But even after several hours into the game, it still feels so Damn stiff.
A Damn shame really, like I saiD, it's a quality game no doubT.
Bloodborne's Controlls, now that's a perfect gameplay/control system.
10/10
so true, the game is disgusting for me. clunky controls, boring combat, jittery feeling. after such finely optimized game like gta5 and da:inquisiton witcher feels, sorry, like crap. and the font for which you need a loupe... the game is broken and has no soul. it speak volumes about consumers if they gladly devour such shit.
Someone didn't play the witcher lol
3/5 meaning 6 out 10!? For Witcher 3!? Is the author crazy??
