Since its release in 2015, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has sold more than 50 million copies, according to CD Projekt, the game’s publisher.
This fact was shared on Twitter along with the information that the Witcher series has so far sold more than 75 million copies.
A grand fantasy journey, The Witcher 3 is. It was initially released in 2015 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. In 2019, a Nintendo Switch port was made available. A “next-gen” upgrade that was launched in November 2022 for the Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and PC kept the game in the news more recently.
Even though The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, a competing role-playing game, has sold more than 30 million copies, Wild Hunt has sold 50 million copies, outpacing it. But that statistic is outdated. It is only current as of 2016, completely ignoring the Nintendo Switch port and sales of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition.
It is difficult to create a reliable list of the best-selling video games ever due to these outdated statistics, but according to IGN’s top 10 stats, The Witcher 3’s most recent sales figures would now put it just inside the list of all-time top sellers.
What projects is CD Projekt Red engaged in?
These statistics for social media influence were not merely disclosed by CD Projekt. They were disclosed in the business’s Q1 2023 earnings report, along with Q1 revenue statistics totaling more than £33 million.
The publisher-developer has been working for the past 2.5 years to get back to where it was during The Witcher 3’s heyday. Due to quality problems, Cyberpunk 2077 was removed from the PlayStation Store after a terrible launch. After six months, it would return on PlayStation gaming systems.
What are the biggest-selling games ever?
Family favourite Minecraft, which has sold 238 million copies by April 2021, according to Microsoft, is one of the best-selling modern computer games. Mobile downloads are also included in this number.
The console and PC gaming colossus of the last ten years is Grand Theft Auto V from Rockstar Games. In the ten years since its first release, it has sold 175 million units, according to information provided by developer Take-Two Interactive earlier this year, as noted by Gamespot.
According to data provided by Nintendo, Mario Kart 8 has sold 62.25 million copies worldwide. Despite the fact that the game was initially released for the Wii U, a console that only sold a total of 13 million units, with 53.79 million of those sales going to the Switch edition, this is the case.
Nintendo’s most recent success is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which passed 10 million sales worldwide in just three days, becoming the fastest-selling Nintendo game ever in the US.
When is The Witcher 4 coming out?
In October 2022, CD Projekt Red, the company’s development division, announced a number of projects that were in the works. These consist of The Witcher 4’s current working title, Polaris, and a remake of The Witcher.
Additionally, there have been recent rumours that Sony is considering buying CD Projekt, which is presently valued at £2.3 billion based on its share price.
These rumours have been dispelled by CD Projekt. CEO Adam Kiciski stated at the company’s Q1 2023 earnings call, “I can reiterate what we have been saying throughout the years — CD Projekt is not for sale.”
