CD Projekt Red announced that its upcoming title, The Witcher 4, will be released in a traditional boxed format for physical‑media collectors, despite the industry’s shift toward digital distribution and Sony’s plan to discontinue disc support for its consoles by 2028.
In an interview, joint‑CEO Michał Nowakowski emphasized the studio’s commitment to “tangible collectible things,” noting that a physical edition will include a premium case, art book, and exclusive in‑game items, catering to the franchise’s dedicated fan base.

The move mirrors CD Projekt’s earlier strategy with Cyberpunk 2077, which also saw a limited physical run, and signals the company’s belief that a niche but profitable market for collector’s editions remains viable even as mainstream sales migrate online.
