CD Projekt RED has managed to secure a baffling number of publishers for the original PC release of its RPG, The Witcher 2, and the upcoming Xbox 360 release as well.
While the developer self-published the game in their native country of Poland, it partnered with Atari to distribute the PC version in North America, with Namco Bandai in Europe, and 1C Company in Russia. The Xbox 360 version will be coming to Europe courtesy of THQ, a deal that Namco Bandai is disputing in a new lawsuit.
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.
Replies(2)CD Projekt announced its financial results for 2025, while the company looks to its future by investing in The Witcher 4, Cyberpunk 2, and "Hadar."
Seems like they (CD Projekt) paid extra attention to what the distribution contract entailed. Great game, a must buy for fans of the WRPG genre imo.
"The agreement that we signed last year, concerned only the distribution of The Witcher 2 for the PC. The records were carefully clarified to avoid any ambiguity"
And this is why publishers can go and burn in hell for trying to steal the developers' well-deserved earnings. CDPR knew they would try it lol.
They dont need namco gog.com works just fine and no drm.
This is pretty funny, Looks like Namco signed a contract without reading it.
Bunch of idiots...
