The Witcher 4 community is raising concerns about fake invitations to test the game—an ongoing scam that CD Projekt is eager to shut down as soon as possible.
CD Projekt Sounds the Alarm on Fake Invitations for The Witcher 4 Beta
The Witcher 4 became the spotlight title of The Game Awards 2024thanks to a stunning trailer featuring Ciri stepping into the lead role of the saga.
However, fans will have to wait at least until 2027 for any solid release details, with some speculating the launch could be delayed until 2028 or even 2029. Naturally, anticipation is running high.
That very excitement is what scammers are trying to exploit, using fake beta invitations that CD project is now actively warning about on social media.

Through posts on their social channels, the studio is alerting fans to a new scam involving fake invitations to test the fourth installment of The Witcher.
If you receive or come across one of these invitations, the creators of Cyberpunk 2077 recommend using your email or social platform’s tools to report it immediately.
CD project also clarifies that if they ever offer beta testing for The Witcher 4 in the future, it will be announced only through their official channels.
Fake Beta Invites Put Your Data at Risk
Accepting a fake beta invitation could endanger your personal data. These links often ask for sensitive details like your email, passwords, or even banking information under the guise of a legitimate registration.
Once this information falls into the wrong hands, it can be used for identity theft or financial fraud. That’s not to mention another major risk—malicious software.
Some fake betas prompt users to download executable files or apps that actually contain viruses, trojans, or spyware—malware that can not only damage your system but also steal additional personal information.
Worse yet, these fake betas can compromise your accounts on gaming platforms or other online services.
Through phishing or malware, attackers can gain access to your profiles, change passwords, and steal virtual items—a scenario similar to what recently happened with Path of Exile 2.
Stay Alert
Be extra cautious when it comes to anything related to The Witcher 4. The wait for the game may feel long, but it will be made more bearable with content like the upcoming prequel novel set in the same universe.
