CD Projekt Red, as influential as it is, has said it cannot do anything to guarantee a PlayStation 5 disc-based edition of The Witcher 4 when the game is released in 2028.

The short version

It is, joint joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski said, at the mercy of Sony's manufacturing factories.
"We don't know what's going to be the case," Nowakowski told The Game Business at Gamescom last week.
"We know what PlayStation has announced.

What happened

And we have no influence on the policies of the first parties. The discs for the first parties, including PlayStation, have to be manufactured in their own factories.

Why it matters

Nor do we know exactly when in 2028 The Witcher 4 will be released.
