The Witcher III may have launched in 2015, but the game continues to draw players to the realm of the Continent—and the casual nudity of Geralt of Rivia.
CD Projekt Red announced a big milestone for the game at more than 50 million copies sold. Here’s what the official post said:
The School of the Wolf is growing! ???? Over 50 million people joined Geralt of Rivia on his Path to finding Ciri and defeating the Wild Hunt!
Thank you for your enormous support over the years! ❤️
For context, other games that have managed to cross the 50 million mark include Red Dead Redemption 2, Grand Theft Auto V, and Mario Kart 8. On the very top of that list sits Minecraft, which has sold 238 million.
The Witcher III is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated open-world games to come out in the 2010s and is responsible for establishing CDPR as a big-name studio. Despite the success, though, the hype behind The Witcher III was also what led to the insanely huge expectations for Cyberpunk 2077, which ended up having a disastrous launch filled with bugs and crashes.
CDPR plans to expand its Witcher library with more titles currently in development. They’ve even brought in third-party studios to try and make their spin on the Witcher IP. We don’t know when they’ll be able to release their follow-up to Wild Hunt, but at this point, the studio has milked the game so much that fans are comparing it to Bethesda milking Skyrim for several years across multiple platforms.
The Witcher III: Wild Hunt is now available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, PlayStation 4|5, and the Nintendo Switch.
