CD Projekt Red joint CEO Michał Nowakowski said the studio is not worried that rising console RAM prices or possible next‑generation hardware delays will affect its games, and noted that physical disc production will end in 2028. The price of console RAM has risen in recent months, leading to speculation that next‑gen consoles could be delayed. In a September interview with The Game Business, Nowakowski said pricing is an objective challenge and that any delay could cause some features to be postponed. He emphasized that the quality of the content is the primary concern and that the company will adjust its business model as needed. Nowakowski added that the development team wants more hardware power but remains realistic about timelines. If next‑gen releases are postponed, some ideas may be shelved for future use. CD Projekt Red has supported independent developers, recently offering assistance after a theft at Gamescom. The studio will also provide physical editions of The Witcher 4 for players who prefer disc media despite the upcoming digital‑only console transition. The industry will watch whether other console manufacturers follow PlayStation’s move to an all‑digital model and how that will shape future game distribution.
