Despite the industry-wide shift toward digital-only gaming and Sony’s planned phase-out of physical discs by 2028, CD Projekt Red has pledged to keep the tradition of physical collectibles alive for The Witcher 4.
Joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski confirmed that while the studio cannot influence first-party hardware policies, they intend to release a physical box containing “feelies”—tangible items like maps and letters—ensuring fans still have a premium physical product to enjoy, even if a disc is no longer included.
