CD Projekt has issued a public alert concerning fraudulent invitations to a supposed beta test for The Witcher 4. The studio emphasized that any such message is a scam and encouraged the community to remain cautious.
According to an official post shared on Bluesky, the company has received multiple reports from players claiming they were invited to take part in a closed beta for the upcoming Witcher title. In response, CD Projekt confirmed that no beta invitations have been sent out and described the messages as deceptive and unauthorized.
The studio stated that actions are currently underway to remove the misleading posts and accounts promoting them. CD Projekt also asked anyone who comes across these invitations—whether by email or on social media platforms—to report them using the built-in reporting features provided by those services.
Deceptive Messaging Circulating Online
A recent example of the scam surfaced on Reddit, where a user shared an image of one of these fake invitations. The post reportedly originated from Instagram and, at a quick glance, appeared legitimate. However, upon closer inspection, the message contained numerous grammatical and spelling mistakes—common traits of phishing attempts.
Despite these red flags, many fans are still falling for the trick. The sight of the phrase Witcher 4 beta can trigger excitement, leading some to engage without verifying the source. This reaction, while understandable, is what scammers often rely on.
CD Projekt Reinforces Official Communication Channels
The developer reassured fans that any legitimate news regarding beta access or early testing phases will only be announced through official channels. According to the studio, any such opportunity would be publicly shared via their verified social media accounts and their official website—not through third-party advertisements or unsolicited messages.
CD Projekt reiterated this message by stating that the studio has no history of offering open beta tests for major titles like previous Witcher games or Cyberpunk 2077. Given that The Witcher 4 is not expected to release before 2027, any official beta—if one is planned—remains a distant possibility.
The company concluded with a reminder that fans should stay alert and report suspicious communications immediately, helping to prevent the spread of these deceptive tactics.
