Witcher 4 Will Keep Physical Box Format Despite Sony's Disc Phase-Out

CD Projekt Red has confirmed that The Witcher 4 will still offer a physical edition for collectors, even if discs become obsolete after Sony's planned phase-out in 2028. The studio made clear that fans who prefer to own a tangible copy of the game will still be able to do so, stating the game will "have a box" regardless of whether a disc is included inside it. This suggests CDPR is prepared to adapt the physical format, potentially shipping boxes with download codes rather than traditional optical media, in order to keep physical collectors happy.

The Witcher 4 Officially Targeting 2028 Release, Witcher 3 Expansion Heads to Gamescom

CD Projekt Red has officially confirmed that The Witcher 4 is targeting a 2028 release window, delivering one of the most anticipated development updates in recent memory. The announcement came via a video posted to the official Witcher social media accounts, with the studio's joint CEO on hand to deliver the news ahead of Gamescom 2026. In the update, CD Projekt Red described the upcoming Ciri-led RPG as their "biggest, boldest" project yet, reassuring fans that it "will be worth the wait." While the language remains carefully qualified, with the studio using the word "targeting" rather than committing to a hard date, the 2028 window marks the clearest timeline the developer has shared publicly to date.
