The Witcher 4 Will Still Get A Physical Release, Even Though It's Launching In 2028

Although CD Projekt admits it has "no influence" over whether PlayStation and Xbox will keep producing discs

CD Projekt has confirmed that a physical version of The Witcher 4 will be released, even though the RPG is slated to launch after Sony stops producing physical games for PlayStation 5.

Sony plans to end the production of game discs for PlayStation consoles in January 2028. The Witcher 4 is the highest-profile AAA game currently slated to launch that year, and it comes from a studio that enjoys releasing its games physically. In an interview with The Game Business, CD Projekt joint CEO Michał Nowakowski confirmed that CD Projekt would still like to release a physical version of The Witcher 4.

"We’re big fans of people having access to tangible collectible things. We’re nerds ourselves, and we like that. We always supported that," Nowakowski explained. "So, whatever is the case, we’re going to be for sure having a box. We’re going to have a box that’s going to have some feelies in it. Something you’re going to be wanting to open up and enjoy."

That said, Nowakowski said he's unsure whether the game itself will be on a disc, as CD Projekt has no control over what Sony decides to manufacture. "We know what PlayStation has announced. And we have no influence on the policies of the first parties," he admitted. "The discs for the first parties, including PlayStation, have to be manufactured in their own factories.
