“It’s something we discussed, actually, but we’re not 100 percent sure. Maybe - so it’s hard to say if we want to go this way at this stage.” he begins. " would assume that as long as I understand, like, the strategy we want to do - I’m just trying not to say too much, bear with me - most likely, the launch, we will not have a PC-only launch, for example."
On the other hand, Tremblay made clear that while The Witcher 4 will likely launch across multiple platforms, this certainly does not mean it will launch on all platforms. “That being said, will it mean that we will have - let’s say there were 20 platforms available - we’ll have 20 at launch? Maybe not. But at least PC only, and then scattered, it’s not necessarily the approach we want to go forward, for sure.”
However, The Witcher 4 is, of course, still very early in development, and while the team at CDPR have a strategy in place for how the game’s launch will likely take place, there’s plenty of time for things to change before that release date comes. For now, though, console fans can likely rest easy that a PC-only launch does not seem on the cards for The Witcher 4. “I don’t think this is a strategy we want to adopt right now.”
