After such a complex story, The Witcher 3's last boss just isn't original enough
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.

The ending was always going to be somewhat disappointing, the true adventure and magic of the game comes through the smaller encounters that bring the world to life. Although not a terrible story by any stretch, the main quest line came up short, in my opinion, next to the more engaging side quests, but it was interesting to see the plot of the books extend into the video game universe The DLC ended the story on a much better note, particularly Blood and Wine.
The game was and is utterly brilliant.
I liked having a straight up evil enemy to defeat at the end, by that point I'd had enough of complex grey areas and was ready to smite some bad guys to save the day. I think Death March is the best way to play the game and it was not an easy fight for me, I was dodging around that arena like a maniac but it was a good fight and a worthy end to a great game.
Witcher 3 needs actual gameplay in general.
Wait, Skyrim needs this article too. Here it should go like this... "After 8 hours of gameplay I've walked more than theres been dialogue or actual combat and now the final boss is a dragon?!.... How original can you get?"
But we all know Skyrim shines from the side quest not the main story. The Witcher however in my opinion shined in both of those aspects. I also enjoy the witcher 3s more complex combat over Skyrim, but I understand that not everyone likes the style. Some prefer the simplicity of Skyrim... And there's nothing wrong with that.
That’s been a lingering issue with many modern AAA titles.
