‘The Witcher 3′ Won’t Feature Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or PC Exclusive Content

During a recent interview with Eurogamer, CD Projekt Red co-founder Marcin Iwinski has confirmed that the developer’s upcoming conclusion to its famous role-playing series, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, will not feature any kind of platform-exclusive content.

Good guy CD Projeckt Red.

"We are treating all gamers equally"

Huge respect to them. It's a shame that attitudes like this are in such short supply amongst developers and publishers these days.

[Palitera]

This respect goes both ways.

Their attitude is also money driven, since they know people will pirate less of their games and look forward more to them... But, then again, it proves that good business can be lucrative and done without abusive schemes and gimmicks all over.

[Palitera]

lol at the disagress. Do you think their attitude is based on altruism or good samaritanism?
smh

[alexkoepp]

Lets hope it doesn't feature gamestop exclusive content, that is the worst kind. I refuse to shop there.

[bienio]

Rockstar should take example of such a policy..

[TurboGamer]

So the extra Nvidia physx effects doesn't count?

[Baka-akaB]

extra effects are content now ? Come on

[Mariusmssj]

Nvidia actually work with CDPR and send their staff to Poland. Witcher 2 is by far the best looking nvidia 3D game to date. CDPR is also working on PhysX themselves, they have made multiple contributions to PhysX system itself.

[MrSwankSinatra]

Good, this is the way all multiplats should be.

[Bundi]

These guys for president.

Yea, this is nice. That way, players across all platforms can enjoy every piece of content together. I always found it odd that developers would split gamers like that. Especially when each platform gets its own different content. Maybe someone on the PC wanted to play the extra PS4 missions, etc...

Its nice to take a step back in time, before all of this exclusive content bartering happened. It commercializes gaming in a way that isnt good for any consumer, as you have to pick and choose your platform, to play the content or get the swag you want. Not good for anybody except retailers trying to get an edge on their competition, by offering extra advertising or floor space to said game, for extra content that may sway one gamer or another to their "edition" of the game. Some of the content offering more insight to the back story or history of the world we are set loose to explore.

So, congrats CD Projeckt Red. I applaud your honor in not selling out to commerce, for a few extra sales. Thank you.

Dont feel it's an issue either way . Depends how it's done .If it's about using a console's specific feature and advantage why not ?

ANd actually it's a bit interesting when you're a multi console owner , it can be one of the things that can make you pick a version .

What i'm all against however , are shop specific (like gamestop's) exclusives .

[GeraltofRivia]

shop specific exclusives for the Witcher 2 were given away for free over time for EVERY version of the game for The Witcher 2 I am sure they will do that again.

[mogwaii]

Exclusive content has always been around in one form or another, i remember way back when mortal kombat 2 was released with full gore on megadrive and zero gore on snes, i was so bummed, lol, i know thats not exactly the same as today but its still one version better/different over the other.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Thank you, and so does ItachiUchiha!

[MegaRay]

What about itachi?

[Exies7]

Mad respect.

[Tundra]

Much Appreciated. I cannot stand when publishers and developers practice such a toxic action.

[WeAreLegion]

Love this team. Thanks!

[Dlacy13g]

THANK YOU!!!! So sick of the stupidity that has become "exclusive content" over the past years.

[HighResHero]

Day one from GOG.

[LAWSON72]

CDPR awesome as always

[Berenwulf]

Thats good, that should be always the case!

[gamertk421]

I love these guys. Integrity.

[Roccetarius]

CDPR is just making it harder and harder to not support them. It's things like this that i wish to be standard again, instead of publishers and retailers signing some sort of exclusive deal.

[wheatley]

Then I am definitely getting the Witcher 3. Thank you, CDPR.

[HaveAsandwich]

GOOD

[mep69]

That's good. If you're going to go multiplatform do it fairly or don't do it at all.

[GeraltofRivia]

CD Projekt Red is the God of video game developers. Treating all gamers equally (and I think giving all DLC away for free, at least in the Witcher 2) is the most honorable thing a video game company could do. The PC version will probably have a mod kit program released which will probably not make it to the console version as the last time I checked the nature of consoles does not allow for modding games. Nothing CDPR can do to help that.

[Aussiebeachbabe]

Well done. Bravo. Good work all round.

[Bathyj]

I couldnt get into Witcher 2, I dont know if its my sort of game, but this makes me want to support CD Projekt even more.

Good work.

[Skate-AK]

That's cool. Everyone gets the same game for the most part.
