More than 4 years after release Witcher 3 has beaten launch peak concurrent players on Steam

[Raiden]

It helps that it's like 12 Eur on Steam, pretty good discount, they could have played it worse for us and sell it for 30 or something like that.

 

[Guts Of Thor]

Good to see it. Best open world game of the generation. Nothing else comes remotely close to it.

 

[Common Knowledge]

I'm certainly thinking about starting it up again on NG+ sometime soon, my enormous backlog be damned.

I loaded up my Level 7 GOG version with mods and did the A Towerful of Mice quest and now Kiera is awaiting me back at the cabin, wink wink. Then I loaded up my Level 100 New Game+ PS4 version and did 2 Skellige Question Marks on remote tiny islets. I own it on Steam too but it's uninstalled. No need with the GOG version. Oh, and I have it on Xbox One as well. Pretty good game.

 

[Prine]

Edit. Wrong thread!

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Wild. I'd definitely like to revisit it again at some point in the near future, I just need to find the time to dedicate to it.

 

[Strafer]

So if a Counter Strike TV show happens Steam will explode?

 

[secretanchitman]

Played it on PS4 but stopped playing because there was just a crap-ton to do. Maybe I will pick this up on PC again with some mods.

 

[Astandahl]

Really happy. The TV show is well made and the game is top tier. Another massive failure from the movie/ tv show critics.

 

[Chirotera]

The books are in high demand again, too!

 

[vlaar]

Good. More people should play this amazing game

 

[Lupercal]

I have bought Witcher 3 day 1 and have never played it for more than 5 minutes because of the super slow introduction and combat tutorial....
Maybe now's the time?

Just turn off tutorials then?

 

[Sword Familiar]

The series seems almost ripped straight form the game (visually and whatnot), so I'm not surprised so many want to re-play/try tw3. Hell, I'm installing it right now myself.

 

[Pharaoh]

That's fucking incredible.

 

[Psychotron]

Well deserved. The show is good, and definitely deserves a chance to refine itself in season 2. I'm seriously considering another Witcher 3 run where I go with Yen, as I had originally gone with Triss.

 

[Antiax]

Probably the best game of the decade so it's totally deserved.

 

[Sir_Caffeine]

Considering all the sales, all good criticism for the game as well as the popularity of the show...witcher 4 in development?

 

[HStallion]

Time for a Bloodborne show starring Chris Evans

 

[ThreepwoodMighty]

I'm eager to see how well Cyberpunk will do compared to this.

 

[Fredrik]

This is insane but it's such a great game and such a great TV show, they're both worthy of the attention

 

[Phil's Empty Chair]

What a wavy graphic.

 

[ThreepQuest64]

Makes sense. It's a great game and probably my game of this generation.

 

[Ferrs]

Weird, the game doesn't show on sale anymore on EU PSN but the DLC still does.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Yea the books and the games all saw boosts due to the TV show which speaks strongly to people enjoying it a lot.

 

[Noriea]

I finally bought it on PC. Installed texture 4k mod too. Looks gorgeous. Can't wait to play through it again.

 

[HououinKyouma]

GOTG on a path of war right now, I love it.

 

[Lonewulfeus]

I finally finished my first Witcher 2 EE playthrough, now I'm running through the opposite path on Dark difficulty, probably wouldn't have gone back despite meaning to without having watched the show.

 

[Kiekura]

My game of generation.

 

[Voytek]

That's great for both the game and the show.

 

[Deleted member 18944]

Turns out the Witcher 3 is still game of the year

 

[RustyNails]

How many of these are new purchases versus people dipping again?

bloodborne already had its film

 

[Anno]

Man I'd love to know how many copies the game has sold since the show came out. It must be massive.

 

[Zeckett]

People should read the books too.

 

[AbsoluteZero0K]

I'm eager to see how well Cyberpunk will do compared to this.

Click to shrink...

IDK how Cyberpunk will perform, but I'm taking time off work to play it.

 

[Arzak]

Man if the show continues to be popular in concurrent seasons CDProjekt is going to be pretty much forced to make a new Witcher game...to much free marketing to pass up.

 

[Dragon1893]

This is awesome!

 

[martincrimson87]

PC gaming in a nutshell. If only they had released the modding toolset we could have had total conversions by now.

 

[mbpm]

I'm tossing a coin at my witcher, but nothing is happening

 

[MrCibb]

I guess the sale price and recent Netflix series did wonders for what was already a very successful and lauded game, you don't often see this happen for a single-player game that already sold well. It deserves every but of the success too.

 

[Pryme]

MS should probably have pushed for the Halo TV show to coincide with Infinite's release.

 

[Ra]

I really need to get back to TW3. I think I stopped right at Novigrad?

Now that I have an i7-9700K/RTX 2080 this might be a good time to play it in its full glory.

Be sure to download the HD textures re-work

wrong thread

 

[SlothmanAllen]

Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be insane! Provided CD Projekt RED can deliver, people are going to go nuts over it!

 

[Deleted member 2533]

Man, the Monster Hunter movie is gonna be huuuuuge!

(lol)

 

[Team_Feisar]

Never was so happy with a double dip.
I'm literally right now playing the game on switch in bed with a hot chocolate while my GF watches the show on her tablet.
Good times to be a Witcher fan.

 

[yurr]

Goddamit everyone has a Netflix account huh?

 

[DaciaJC]

I'm happy more people are experiencing the Game of the Generation - I certainly wasn't expecting the show to have such an impact.
