π° What Happened
CD Projekt Red's games take part in crossovers with other titles. A Witcher-style Barbarian skin is coming to Diablo 4, and Cyberpunk outfits are going to Overwatch. But the studio's own games do not get content from other games.
Level design lead Miles Tost explained why at BlizzCon. He said the studio wants players to get the same full game no matter where they buy it. Past extras were physical items like hoodies or cards, not in-game content.
π The Backstory
CD Projekt Red is known for The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077. Some players dislike store-exclusive content because it splits the game into parts. The studio has avoided that approach for years.
Tost said the team has not really thought about adding crossover items. He added that the policy could change later.
π― Why It Matters
Gamers often pay the same price for less content on some platforms. Keeping every version complete is fairer for players, even if it means fewer flashy promotions.
