(Apologies if this question has been beforehand)

Last year I got Cyberpunk 2077 and got really into it. After about 200 hours in the game I decided I should try out The Witcher 3 since I've heard nothing but excellent things since 2015 and it being even better than 2077 but before I did, I figured it would be best if I played the first two games for better context.

But to my surprise I saw that they're only available to play on PC with Assassins Of Kings at the very least having an Xbox 360 port. For context I have (unfortunately as of late lol) always been an console player growing up due to PCs being way out of my family's financial range so I can't play the games on Steam or GOG and my 360 has long since died so that's out of luck. I knew that CD Projekt Red had always leaned more towards the PC base but after the mega success of The Witcher 3 expanding the company, I guess I expected them to have at some point since then bring the previous installments to consoles.

Has there been any reason as to why The Witcher 1 and 2 haven't been ported to modern consoles? Is it because of issues with their Engine or lack of interest from the playerbase and the company? Can I use The Witcher 3 as my gateway and still use it?

Sorry if this has been asked multiple times. With the recent PlayStation disc news I've decided to finally look into jailbreaking my PlayStation 5 since I won't be able to afford a PC due to lack of money on my part. I discovered quickly that my console had auto updated to the latest firmware update Sony launched today and realized it will likely take some time before this update gets jailbreaked so I was wondering if there's any websites or newsletters I can use to stay updated on the progress. I am aware I can use this subreddit but I have been wanting to use social media less and less so I'm wondering if there's other options to stay up to date if I'm really committed to this.
