Dear Gamers,

May 19th was a crucial date for all of us here at CD PROJEKT RED -- we released The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, our open world role-playing game that we had been hard at work on for over 3 years. Since day one, you have given us tons of positive feedback and support -- the sheer volume of emails we’ve gotten since launch simply congratulating us for our efforts is both epic and heartwarming, and I wish every developer comes to have such a fantastic community. In terms of media reception, we’re really humbled by the scores the game has received all around the world. With an average of 90+ on every platform, Wild Hunt is our dream coming true.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the four million gamers worldwide who bought The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in the first two weeks from launch. Four million RPG fans spending their hard-earned money on our game is a sign that we did something right, and you can be sure that we’ll harness all that positive energy and make the upcoming expansions worthy of the grand adventure that you’re telling us Wild Hunt already is! Until then, keep on enjoying Wild Hunt, do not forget to grab your weekly set of free DLCs, and stay tuned for constant updates and enhancement to the game we are continuously working on.

Dandelion once said to Geralt that the world is changing, the sun is setting, and vodka’s running out -- go, play, and have fun!


All the best,
Marcin Iwiński
Co-founder, CD PROJEKT RED

It's a fantastic game, though it's clear it could have done with more time in the cooker. Thankfully the post release support has been solid.

Yes, well deserved for an awesome game. One of the very few games I purchased at full price on release.

Completely deserved it. To me it really showed how amateur Bethesda are when it comes to making an open world RPG.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
So Wild Hunt already accounts for about half the total sales of the first two games combined.

Holy shit, huge numbers.

I got burned on CDP stock in the past, but felt like I should have bought some, I'm sure there was a spike, don't even want to check...

I am about 100 hours in, and only about 35% complete. I think this very well could end up being my favourite RPG of all time.

Anyway, well deserved, CDPR! Now don't keep us waiting too long for the next sword based RPG (next Witcher?).

Going by Steamspy more than 10% on PC. So Geralt really penetrated the console market.

That makes me happy. It's been a pleasure to follow CDPR and The Witcher, really glad they found this kind of success.

Steam wasn't the only place selling The Witcher 3 btw, and certainly not the place with the best price. It should be a little more on PC. Still, it is obviously a success on consoles, thankfully.

Well deserved! Beat this game yesterday after 90 glorious hours and was actually a bit sad that it ended. Superb game with high quality content.

Wonder what the platform split is?

Gorgeous game, just wish they could've refined the horse-riding a little. Roach gets stuck a little too often!
