CD Projekt Red has indicated that the availability of a physical PlayStation 5 disc edition for their anticipated title, The Witcher 4, may be beyond their control. Despite their influence in the gaming industry, the developer stated that guaranteeing a disc-based PS5 version for the game’s projected 2028 release depends entirely on Sony’s manufacturing facilities. Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski reportedly clarified that the studio is subject to these external production capabilities.
However, players who value physical collector’s items can still anticipate a special offering. CD Projekt Red has committed to including a game box packed with “feelies” – a term for additional physical extras – no matter the distribution method. This indicates the studio’s dedication to providing a rich physical package for fans, even if a PlayStation 5 disc version proves unattainable due to external manufacturing constraints. This report is based on information from Eurogamer.net.
