CD Projekt Red, a powerful game developer, cannot guarantee a PlayStation 5 disc version of their upcoming game The Witcher 4 in 2028 due to Sony's potential disc manufacturing cessation. Joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski stated that they have no control over Sony's manufacturing policies. Sony has announced plans to stop disc production starting January 2028, though the exact date and whether it will be a sudden cutoff or gradual discontinuation are unclear.
The Witcher 4's release date is also unknown, but it is expected to be in the fall of 2028, similar to The Witcher 3's release in May 2015 and Cyberpunk 2077's release in December 2020. Despite the uncertainty surrounding disc manufacturing, CD Projekt Red remains committed to providing a physical edition of The Witcher 4. They emphasize their appreciation for tangible collectibles, stating that they want players to have access to physical copies that include additional items like "feelies."
Regardless of the manufacturing situation, CD Projekt Red will ensure the game comes with a box containing these extra items.
