CD Projekt RED has announced that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has sold over 6 million units. Unfortunately, CD Projekt RED has not shared any additional information about the sales on each platform, therefore it’s hard to say whether the PC sales are still strong.
As CD Projekt RED noted:
“Over the six-week period following the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (i.e. until 30 June 2015), 6.014.576 copies of the game were sold.”
Adam Badowski, head of CD Projekt RED, added:
“Yes, six million copies is a great achievement for a company making RPGs, but this business is not only about that. If our games are a gallery of sound, picture and text – you are the visitors of this gallery. To an artist, there’s no sweeter sight than people enjoying their work. That’s why, in the name of all the devs in the studio, I’d like to say thanks to each and every one of you.”
For what is worth, one month prior to those numbers, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sold 1.3 million out of 4 million copies on the PC.

Well deserved
The only downside to this game is that you lvl up too fast and many quests get left behind greyed out.
nah man I feel it levels too slow unless you are hitting the main story quests. If you hit alot of sidequests and go wandering hunting monsters and such the leveling is very slow. Main quest gives sh*t ton of xp though.
Definitely one of my favourites for this year.
it’s your money but you shouldn’t pre-order from any company anyway imo. also Witcher 3 is still superior on PC even with parity as it should be but i understand the disappointment specially since the expectations were high in that regard.
it won’t matter though. the hype around CDPR is so high that they can get away with anything currently. most people like to see things in only White or Black. right now CDPR is White. whatever they do constantly turn into a positive advertising for them thanks to their bright past. don’t get wrong Witcher 3 is epic, but it’s funny to watch some hardcore fans trying to make excuses for any negativity around CDPR.
Good but I still don’t like the levelling system, does spoil the game for me, can’t fight what you want to fight without being a certain level, armour, weapons, quests are all level limited as well, carrying weight bound to the horse. Also, the game is a bit too inspired by Skyrim at times.
So it bothers u that u can’t attach certain powerful monsters, but more so, the fact that justice isn’t dealt when u steal? I’m pretty sure if justice was dealt you would complain about not being easier to steal lol
Nope because if you steal in Risen 3 the house owners attack you but give you a warning first, no stupid level limitation, no carry weight limitation.
Risen 3 is a great example……
It is, it gets a lot of RPG elements right that a lot of others get wrong.
*sigh*
Sigh all you like, doesn’t change what I said about the core elements of the game.
whatever floats your boat.
lmao.
Use trainers for that. The game is good as is.
Don’t make excuses for poor game design.
Can’t say about Witcher 3 yet, but in Skyrim NPCs do retaliate if you steal in front of them. Unless you do that bucket over the head trick.
Most people think games without lvl scaling is better, and I say to them “you are idiots”. Lvl scaling gives the game more life.
And why I like Gothic, Risen system better. Go learn a skill and then do what you want as long as you have the money, not say to a player you can only use this weapon, armour at a certain level, in MMOs that is called grinding. What’s stupid is you can find secret places and get equipment you can’t use until you’re at certain level. Honestly, WTF did CDPR do this, it’s not an MMO FFS, even the TW2 you could make great armour and weapons if you had the money and materials but didn’t make you stupidly strong.
Lvl scaling and a convincing world are the aspects that give skyrim long live-ity. More games should try to create a convincing world than creating mmo-rpg systems in their games. Games without lvl scaling will break the world and will leave you overpowered/underpowered never making the world feel right, was true for the first gothic and is true for all games.
And stat req for equipment is retarded, even dark souls allows you to equip anything, whether you can wield it or not is on you.
GOTY for sure. The amount of care and dedication given to this game is pretty evident when you are exploring this beautiful game.
Console exculive titles that you mention will never be GOTY because they will look and run like crap on consoles. .
I wouldn’t say crap… Forza 6 runs at 1080p 60fps (yes it is a racing game. I know those aren’t particularly taxing)
I am guilty. A copy at STEAM and another at GOG. And yet a EVGA 970 GOG key
I won’t even pre-order Half-Life 3. That is how strongly I am against pre-ordering especially after Batman: Arkham Knight. Its not like they will run out of cd keys or anything since they can generate infinite amount of them. Retail stores have a limited supply so they can run out of stock but digital games never run out of stock so I can buy them whenever I want.
BLASPHEMER!!!!!BLASPHEMER!!!!!BLASPHEMER!!!!!BLASPHEMER!!!!!BLASPHEMER!!!!!BLASPHEMER!!!!!
You guys are single minded, aren’t you? On Steam, pre-order to your hearts content. If the game is not up to par, ask for a refund. You will be fully refunded and Steam keeps their 30%. Who pays for it? The profit of the distribuitor. Meaning that 4 returns means one less gain of a sale.
Stop being obtuse. Deal with the situations as they come along. Pre-order is terrible, but there, if they don’t deliver, it will happen what happened to Arkham Knight. You saw there the first pull from Steam by the producer. More of this, please.
I still haven’t played it. Waiting for most bugs to be ironed out, all the DLC and maybe some texture mods. Trying to decide if I want to wait for both expansions before I buy. I loved the previous two games to death, but I waited for Enhanced Editions for both.
I haven’t bought it either. I’m waiting for the Steam Holiday Sale.
Same here, just waiting on the 2 DLC’s first.
To be fair this is their most polished game to date. I’ve got 80 hrs in so far and I’m only bout halfway and have not hit 1 serious bug
Yeah I’m that guy that wonders off the path like a rebel lol
For me is still the GOTY. 191 hours and still have to finish the main story (I’m in the last mission for sure at this point) and have to check those latest (maybe 20 or 30) question marks in the map (Skellige).
Some say the level up system was too fast but in my opinion it wasn’t since the way I played the game was by not doing the main quests but exploring the world like mad and find those lovely secondary missions which never gave you the amount of XP that the main missions gave at all.
If you played just the main story it will get you real fast to the higher levels…so then if you wanted to make the secondary missions by doing ” a little exploration”, you sure done it the wrong way.
The world was open for you all the time and the story “cut short” into the map so you could see most of it in a faster way.
I refused to do it that way since the beginning so I did a full massive scan of the entire maps so I could find secondary missions at will to see which level was needed and then advance through those missions level through level.
I barely made 6 missions in grey from probably (I have to count them again) more than 170 that I have completed, plus 2 failed because of a bug and other because of other missions that cancelled the other.
I guess I played it right after all. Sometimes is not how the progressions system is, is how the game was designed to be played.
EDIT: Counted my finished missions 243 completed at the moment (Secondary missions, treasure hunt, witch contracts and main quests) and still need to do the final one (which is level 30 and I’m level 35 so it is still in green).
Then 2 failed missions as I said before and have to complete one witch contract (level 35 but I think is bugged because I tried it before) one treasure hunt (which it was done but it is also bugged, it should be completed I’m sure about that) and one secondary that I tried but Triss doesn’t want to help me with that so I may add it to the failed ones lol.
And I guess Gwynt cards won’t be completed because I failed to win the contest in Novigrad but I got all the cards in the rest of the game for sure so another one failed. (4 in total)
Secondary missions won’t go grey if your level is 5 times above the one required, but if it is 6 times it will be greyed out.
Watch and learn Ubisoft! Watch and learn……
Well, CDPR did match Ubisoft on the ACU console version when it comes to sub 25FPS and downgrades. 🙂
