Dominic Sheard: "It feels a long time when I first bought a shiny new PC to play The Witcher 2 back in 2011. That was the year where everyone was all loving up Skyrim, causing The Witcher 2 to be robbed of 2011's best RPG award. A year later brought the release of the Enhanced Edition to Xbox 360 (and PC), where the developers, CD Projekt Red, added five hours of additional content to the game and some how managed to achieve wonders in bringing a great looking version to Microsoft's old console. I could go on how The Witcher 2 became one of my favourite RPGs, due to its mature themes, gorgeous visuals, well-designed world and brilliant story and characters, but this is about the sequel, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a title that sounded incredibly on paper - a world thirty times the size of The Witcher 2 and 20% bigger than Skyrim, a new engine, 36 possible world states that lead to three main endings, new shiny graphics and some beard growth technology (just what hairy men asked for). Could the developers really deliver on what sounds like a dream wish list for a sequel, while bringing the perfect finish to the tale of Geralt of Rivia?"
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.
