@BAMozzy CD Projekt RED has, historically, focused on the PC versions of its games, and then dialled them down for console. But this hasn’t always been a successful strategy for the studio.
For example, many fans criticised the Polish studio for downgrading The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt prior to release, while Cyberpunk 2077’s issues on the PS4 at launch are well documented.
With The Witcher 4, the studio is focused on developing the game for the PS5 first and foremost.
“We always do PC and push [the technology] and try to scale down,” Charles Tremblay, the dev’s coding bigwig, told Digital Foundry. “This time, we want to be more console development first”
Ampere already predicted over two million of said three million players were on Xbox consoles, according to journalist Chris Dring. While there will be full-price sales among these, it’s anticipated that the vast majority of players are trying the title through Xbox Game Pass.
And with the Steam concurrent numbers so low, Alinea Analytics is estimating the game has sold just 400,000 units on Valve’s storefront – and just 200,000 copies on PS5. In fact, it predicts approximately 2.2 million players have tasted the title through Xbox Game Pass, across both PC and consoles. That means you’re looking at less than one million full-price sales overall,

sony has made it clear they have no desire to remaster or remake there old games..if other companies want to do that then sony will license it out to them..
