The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Reaches 65 Million Copies Ahead of Songs of the Past Launch

Following the recent announcement of the Songs of the Past DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, landing alongside a free Next-Gen Upgrade—11 years after the game's initial release, mind you—CD Projekt Red officially announced its Q1 2026 financial results. In those financial results, the game studio revealed that The Witcher 3 has sold over 65 million copies sold in the game's lifetime. In Q1 2026, The Witcher IP generated as much as 44.7 million PLN ($12.26 million) in revenue, which was actually a 36% increase over the same period in 2025. By comparison, Cyberpunk saw a 4% decrease in revenue comparing Q1 2025 to Q1 2026, but it still earned 140.1 million PLN in revenue ($38.45 million) in Q1 2026. The Studio is currently working on The Witcher 4, with 513 workers currently engaged in the production process, while Cyberpunk 2 has a dedicated team of 163 people.

Nice. Now let's talk about how they dropped Win 10 support for that 11 year old game.

Fair enough. I did a quick search for "witcher" over last two pages of Recent News but only got this one.

Does it means it will definitely not going to run on Win10, or just in case the game crashes on Win10 they will not offer any support for it?
My RTX 3080 machine is still happily on Win10.

Rust also "requires" win11, but it runs perfectly fine on win10. It also runs acceptably(around 50-60 fps) on an i5-8300H / 16GB DDR4 / GTX 1050 4GB. So don't be doom sayers.

It'll play just fine. This is about providing support. We've seen this countless times before. Worst case, you add a .dll somewhere to fix it or something or you have to change a registry line.

There is no conceivable way CDPR is going to release an update to a W10 based game that breaks W10 support. Or any other dev for that matter. Talk about an effective way to literally burn your profits ;)

A Switch 2 update would be nice, get to 60fps at least with higher quality settings.
