The Witcher 4 Will Have a Physical Edition Even if Discs Go Away, CD Projekt Red Confirms

The Witcher 4 will still "have a box" for physical game collectors even after Sony stops supporting discs in 2028, CD Projekt Red has confirmed.

Studio joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski confirmed the Cyberpunk 2077 studio still plans to release a physical edition during an interview with The Game Business. He admitted CD Projekt Red has no control when it comes to Sony's plans to halt production for physical PlayStation discs, but they do still have the power to make The Witcher 4 feel special for collectors.

"We don’t know what’s going to be the case," he said. "We know what PlayStation has announced. And we have no influence on the policies of the first parties. The discs for the first parties, including PlayStation, have to be manufactured in their own factories. So, if they stop manufacturing indeed by 2028, then yes [we won’t have a disc]."

Sony infamously announced plans to end production for physical PlayStation games in July, promising the move would take effect starting January 2028. It was a brutal blow to those who have spent decades collecting discs for their favorite games, but it will be especially painful as games previously expected to receive physical support launch without a disc.

The Witcher 4 became one of those titles when CD Projekt Red suggested it was aiming for a 2028 release date . The studio is known for packing its physical releases full of goodies for fans, too. Both standard editions for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077 came with the kind of bonuses you'd expect in a pricier release, including stickers, a map, a letter from the developers, postcards, and more.
