‘The Witcher 3’ Sold Four Million Copies In Just Two Weeks!
Briefly: If you’ve listened to the last couple of episodes of Geekscape Games (here and here, it’s good, we promise… maybe), you’ll know just how enamoured I’ve become with The Witcher 3 over the past couple of weeks. The game comes in a noteworthy physical package that surprised the hell out of me, and it’s held my interest more than any other RPG in as long as I can remember (even more than Ni No Kuni did).

It seems as though a ton of other people have fallen in love with the game as well, as CD Projekt Red has revealed that The Witcher 3 has sold over 4 million copies in just two weeks.
CD Projekt Red co-founder Marcin Iwiński released the following message today on the company’s official blog:
May 19th was a crucial date for all of us here at CD PROJEKT RED — we released The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, our open world role-playing game that we had been hard at work on for over 3 years. Since day one, you have given us tons of positive feedback and support — the sheer volume of emails we’ve gotten since launch simply congratulating us for our efforts is both epic and heartwarming, and I wish every developer comes to have such a fantastic community. In terms of media reception, we’re really humbled by the scores the game has received all around the world. With an average of 90+ on every platform, Wild Hunt is our dream coming true.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the four million gamers worldwide who bought The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in the first two weeks from launch. Four million RPG fans spending their hard-earned money on our game is a sign that we did something right, and you can be sure that we’ll harness all that positive energy and make the upcoming expansions worthy of the grand adventure that you’re telling us Wild Hunt already is! Until then, keep on enjoying Wild Hunt, do not forget to grab your weekly set of free DLCs, and stay tuned for constant updates and enhancement to the game we are continuously working on.

The Witcher 3 is an incredible experience, and I’m extremely glad to see the company finding success. Pick it up if you haven’t yet, and if you have, be sure to let us know how you’re liking it so far!
