The Witcher 3 hits 65 million copies sold and still isn't slowing down

CD Projekt has announced that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has now sold 65 million copies worldwide — that's another 5 million units in a single year, more than a decade after the game first launched in 2015.

That puts The Witcher 3 in eighth place on the all-time best-selling games list. Terraria sits just ahead in seventh with 70 million lifetime sales, and unseating Grand Theft Auto V (230 million) or Tetris (520 million) is firmly out of reach. CDPR credits the sustained sales to a combination of multi-platform re-releases, regular deep discounts on GOG and elsewhere, and the Netflix Witcher series pulling in new audiences who then picked up the game.

The studio expects another sales bump when Songs of the Past — an expansion, not DLC, CDPR is keen to stress — launches in 2027. Co-developed with Fool's Theory, it continues Geralt's story. CDPR Joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski put it plainly: "The return of Geralt after more than one decade will be an excellent adventure, and a trip down memory lane, before we pass the baton to Ciri in the upcoming The Witcher 4." As of April 30, 2026, CDPR's development teams break down like this: The Witcher 4 has 513 people, Cyberpunk 2 has 163, Project Sirius — the Witcher multiplayer game — has 83, Project Hadar — an original IP — has 24, shared services account for 173, and other projects have 19. Both The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 teams grew slightly compared to previous figures, while Project Hadar shed two people.

Elsewhere in the CDPR pipeline, a remake of the original Witcher game is in development, and the first look at Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season two is set to be revealed at Anime Expo 2026 on July 3.
