The Witcher 3 surpasses NES Mario with 60 million copies sold
10 years ago, CD Projekt Red released The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to universal acclaim. For many, this game put CDPR on the map, pushing them to become one of the most loved studios around currently. While fans eagerly await the team’s next game, The Witcher 3 continues to sell like hotcakes, having now surpassed 60 million total units sold.
As part of the company’s latest fiscal earnings / investor relations report, CDPR offered updates on their current ongoing projects – including the fact that almost 60% of the company’s developers are currently working on The Witcher 4.
Speaking of The Witcher, CDPR also offered some updates on its games’ sales figures, revealing that as of the 28th of May 2025, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has sold over 60 million copies. This makes it the 12th best-selling game of all time so far – currently sitting between the original Super Mario Bros. (58 million) and Terraria (65 million).
Despite releasing back in 2015, The Witcher 3 has only increased in its adoption rate over time, with the game selling 10 million units between 2022-23 to push it to 50 million. Though slightly slower than the previous milestone, selling a further 10 million in the following 2 years (bringing total units to 60 million) is still rather remarkable.
Of course, The Witcher 3 has seen a ton of support since its launch a decade ago, with the game receiving two substantial and critically acclaimed expansions – alongside the more recent release of its ray-tracing upgrade (and even a Netflix show or two).
By the time The Witcher 4 officially arrives, Wild Hunt could very well have entered the top 10 best-selling games of all time. We will have to wait and see.
