It’s easy to get turned upside down with all the information, controversy, and speculation surrounding the present and future of the Xbox brand, but there’s no fooling sales figures. The latest revenue report from CD Projekt Group shows that Xbox made up a shrinking slice of total sales for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 from 2020 to 2025.
PC continues to be the most popular platform among those purchasing CD Projekt games, especially for Cyberpunk 2077 for which PC sales consistently made up for than half of all software sales. PlayStation gamers are holding strong, comprising about a quarter of all sales. Interestingly, the Nintendo Switch figures grew drastically in the past year, roughly matching the figures from Xbox. Nintendo sales were very likely boosted by the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 last year and the release of Cyberpunk 2077 for the handheld, as well backwards compatibility support for The Witcher 3.
Earlier this month, Microsoft confirmed that its new console would be a hybrid system. Codenamed Project Helix, the new machine will reportedly support natively playing both Xbox console games and PC games. CD Projekt’s sales breakdown supports what we already know about PC’s increasing representation in the gaming market, which might provide some insight into why Microsoft has chosen this path for its future games hardware.
