The Witcher "Promotional Copy - (Atari) - has anyone seen a release like this before?

Hey everyone,

I recently picked up a copy of The Witcher for PC (DVD, Games for Windows) published by Atari, and it has a yellow stripe on the cover saying “PROMOTIONAL COPY – NOT FOR RESALE.”

Inside, the disc is also labeled as a promo disc, and it appears to be a factory-pressed (silver underside), not a burned copy.

I’ve been trying to find any information about this exact version online, but I couldn’t find much—no clear listings or documentation. That made me wonder if it might have been a press/review copy or something distributed to stores.

So I wanted to ask:

  • Has anyone here seen this exact promo version before?
  • Do you know how it was originally distributed (press, retail promo, events)?
  • Any idea how rare something like this might be?
  • And what could be a rough value for it today?

I’ve attached photos for reference.

Thanks for any help!
