The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has passed 65 million copies sold, giving CD PROJEKT RED an enormous audience to bring back when Geralt returns in next year's Songs of the Past expansion.
CD PROJEKT listed the new milestone in its Q1 2026 earnings hub, where it also highlighted Songs of the Past, the newly announced third expansion for The Witcher 3. The official expansion announcement earlier this week described the RPG as having sold more than 60 million copies since 2015, so the latest investor update puts a sharper number on how far the game has travelled.
A 65 million-copy audience gives CD PROJEKT RED a clear commercial reason to return to The Witcher 3 more than a decade after launch. Songs of the Past is planned for 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with Fool's Theory co-developing the expansion alongside CD PROJEKT RED.
CD PROJEKT joint CEO Michal Nowakowski described the expansion as being at an advanced stage of development in the quarterly update, and framed it as both a return for existing players and an entry point before The Witcher 4.
"The return of Geralt after more than one decade will be an excellent adventure, and a trip down memory lane, before we pass the baton to Ciri in the upcoming The Witcher 4."
Nowakowski also said the 65 million sales total creates "a huge community of gamers" for the new expansion, adding that CD PROJEKT sees potential for Songs of the Past to be some players' first encounter with The Witcher universe.
The milestone is also a reminder of how long The Witcher 3 has remained active. CD PROJEKT RED has kept updating the RPG well past its original 2015 release, including current-generation upgrades and newer PC feature support. Songs of the Past will not come to every version of the game, though. CD PROJEKT RED has announced it for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with more details due in late summer 2026.
