Memory(@MemoryOffline):CDPR just made Witcher 4 development halt if any console version fails its checkmarks. That is not “quality first.” That is Cyberpunk PTSD written into the schedule. The game already runs on PC, PS5, and Series X. The old method — push PC, patch consoles later — is dead. Miss a platform gate and the whole studio stops. What most people will miss: this protects a 2028 launch and also caps ambition. Every frozen console milestone freezes the PC build too. They are trading spectacle for “it actually works in the living room.” Safer Witcher. Not necessarily a bigger one.
