CDPR has just published its financial results, and The Witcher 3 has sold more than 6 million copies in the first 6 weeks (the reported period). Their net revenue in the first half of the year was 237 million PLN

They claim it's still selling fantastically in retail and digitally.

That would put it up there with the best selling BioWare games. Maybe a tad above.

I think that leaves Diablo (30+M), Borderlands (12+M), and Bethesda's games (20+M) as the better selling WRPGs.

Dynasty8 · Aug 26, 2015

Well deserved.

Wagram · Aug 26, 2015

Congrats to CDPR, they deserve every sale.

Kill3r7 · Aug 26, 2015

Fantastic numbers for an excellent game.

Would this be the best selling title Bandai Namco has put out since... well, in a good long while?

shinobi602 · Aug 26, 2015

It's easily my GOTY (likely going to stay that way). So happy for them, well deserved guys.

Can't wait for the expansions.

Absolutely deserved. It's the first game I've played on the "new" consoles that's felt truly ambitious. Still playing through and absolutely loving every moment.

If we counted it as a Namco game, it would be in strong contention for their best selling game ever, but they only helped distribute it in Europe.

WITHE1982 · Aug 26, 2015

Wow that's impressive and well deserved by CDPR.

Can't wait for the expansions to release so I can jump straight back into it.

Welfare · Aug 26, 2015

That's an incredible amount.

Black Lawn · Aug 26, 2015

Great game, but a little too long in the tooth for my tastes. I managed to beat it though so I'm proud of myself.

Jolkien · Aug 26, 2015

Amazing game. They deserve every unit sold.

SpiceMelange · Aug 26, 2015

And the budget wasn't astronomical or anything IIRC. Probably made a good amount of dough.

RoKKeR · Aug 26, 2015

Well deserved. Probably the best RPG I've ever played.

RustyNails · Aug 26, 2015

Well deserved. I'm 2/3rds through the game and it is such an accomplishment. It does make me extremely sad that this will be Geralt's last voyage

Newtype-001 · Aug 26, 2015

Okaly deserved 👍

His Majesty · Aug 26, 2015

Congratulations CDProjekt. Not only the game itself but also the localization effort they put in is truly impressive. Also one million people activated their game on GoG, seems to have been a real succes for their platform.

Jonboy · Aug 26, 2015

Well deserved. Totally immersed in the game currently.

Dark_castle · Aug 26, 2015

Congratulations to CDPR. Great game deserves great sales figures.

Forkball · Aug 26, 2015

Should have been more.

Should have been more.

Elysium-777 · Aug 26, 2015

That's a lot more than I thought. Well deserved though, this is in my top 5 of best games made in the past decade.

Oh right, I hadn't realized they were doing it in Europe only.

Liha · Aug 26, 2015

Well deserved, the best RPG I have played in the last 4~ years.

Horns · Aug 26, 2015

Nice! I just bought my copy last night.

Warner shipped it in the US and CD Projekt handled it themselves in Eastern Europe (the company actually started as a Eastern European game distributor).

They did get some loans to finish the project from their publishers, and the distributors paid marketing expenses in exchanged for preferred revenue/profit up front.

AyaisMUsikWhore · Aug 26, 2015

Going full multiplaform gave this push. They deserve this. Congrats to the team! That means a part 4 is imminent. Yessss!!!

tioslash · Aug 26, 2015

Great for CDPR. Hope they sell a lot more.

It´s a fantastic game.

Terra_Ex · Aug 26, 2015

Good, a stellar game.

Anon67 · Aug 26, 2015

Well deserved indeed. I'm so happy for them.

bluedawgs · Aug 26, 2015

Good, the game deserves it. I'm like 18 hours in, but I'm playing on the hardest difficulty (Death March) so I expect to finish it by like October. I've died so many times.

Freeman76 · Aug 26, 2015

Great game, performance wise it was a bit of a mess on PS4 though.

Begaria · Aug 26, 2015

Great success for CD Projekt!

Angel_DvA · Aug 26, 2015

well deserved.

Dragon1893 · Aug 26, 2015

Wow, awesome news! So deserved! Congrats CDPR!

Probably in many years down the road. Pretty sure they said Cyberpunk is next

There has been a ton of discussion on this topic already. Let's just say it had a decent size budget.

Servbot24 · Aug 26, 2015

Congrats to them! I still haven't tried it, but I plan to after MGSV.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that CD Projekt Warsaw will handle Cyberpunk while CD Projekt Krakow makes The Witcher 4.

BTM · Aug 26, 2015

I'm glad I decided to give it a go. Will not be surprised if it ends up being my GOTY.

Bartholomuse · Aug 26, 2015

It's lifetime sales could easily cruise past 10 million. Especially if they release a complete or enhanced edition.

Really glad to see such a deserving game do well.

Jarod McChicken · Aug 26, 2015

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.

Oh yeah that's possible then. Must've lived under a rock I never knew they had two studios.

sixteen-bit · Aug 26, 2015

congrats on the success

Gamezone · Aug 26, 2015

Look EA and Ubisoft. No online features or DRM. Free DLC.

Dennis · Aug 26, 2015

CD Projekt Red is a monster.

Cyberpunk 2077 will break the internet.

When it releases in 2020.
