From The Game Business article and talk show today, they talk about Witcher 4, Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher 3 Remastered:

“Everybody has a biology built into them. We were like, ‘if we keep doing things the way we do, and we have a lot of ideas, we’re only going to make X, Y, Z before we retire, or naturally retire from this place’,” says CD Projekt Red joint CEO Michał Nowakowski on today’s The Game Business Show.

“So how can we do more, but not compromise on quality? This was the predominant thought behind that. And then we started thinking, ‘Okay, what’s the business around that?’ This is my biggest wish. I’d like us to look back and say, ‘Okay, we did it, we told two, three stories instead of just one within that moment, and all of them were top-notch’.”

The cynic might suggest that there’s another, more commercial reason why CD Projekt Red would want to develop multiple major games at once. But Nowakowski believes financial growth isn’t entirely down to making more games. The Witcher 3 may now be on 65 million sales, with Cyberpunk 2077 on 40 million, but there’s room to sell more, he says.

“If you look at what GTA V sold, these are very different numbers to what we have achieved. There is still room for growth.”

“It was never a question we asked ourselves. We were going deeper into the development of Songs of the Past with Fool’s Theory, and we started chatting: ‘Why don’t we make the game more modern? Everything felt like it was developed 10 years ago’. Because it was developed more than 10 years ago.

"We started chatting about what we could do to improve it. It started with small things and then it turned into this larger project, and we suddenly realized we had a remaster on our hands.

“But coming back to your original commercial question, we never thought about it this way. The commercial bit is the expansion, but with the game, we really felt this is the CDPR way to gift it to the players who already own it. It was just never a question we asked ourselves.”

They also talk about Cyberpunk 2077 related to Switch 2 release and are very happy about it.
