The Witcher Sells 600,000 Units

Home : News : The Witcher : News Story



CD Projekt RED pleased to announce the impressive sales figure.


CD Project this week announced that its debut video game release, The Witcher, has sold in excess of 600,000 copies worldwide since its release just three months ago.

“We are very happy with The Witcher’s performance to date. Our goal was — and still is — to reach one million copies sold during the first year. 600,000 games sold in just three months brings us much closer to this ambitious goal,” CD Projekt RED Joint CEO Adam Kiciński said in a statement released earlier this week.

“It’s a great success for us, made all the more impressive by the fact that The Witcher was created by a completely new team and it is our debut both as a game developer and in bringing our products to a global audience.”
Kiciński goes on to note that his company’s plans include “continuous game support, the release of the powerful D’jinni module editor, the continued release of game updates and patches, and in late spring gamers can expect a pretty big surprise, which will be revealed at a press conference really soon – February 18th!”

Be sure to check back with GWN next week for more on that big surprise!
