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

CD Projekt Red has confirmed that The Witcher 4 will still come with a physical edition for collectors, even as Sony plans to discontinue disc support for PlayStation games in 2028. Studio joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski revealed this during an interview with The Game Business, admitting that the company has no control over Sony's decision.

Sony announced their plans to halt physical PlayStation disc production in July, with the change set to take effect in January 2028. While this is a blow to game collectors, The Witcher 4 is still intended to be a special release for fans. The studio is known for including various goodies in their physical releases, such as stickers, a map, a letter from the developers, and postcards.

Nowakowski emphasized the importance of tangible collectible items, stating that The Witcher 4 will definitely have a box, even if it doesn't come with a disc.
