The eligible libraries include Steam, Epic Games Store, Origin, Xbox and PSN. There are a few hitches with the promotion though, so let's quickly go through them.įirst of all, you will need to link whichever library you have The Witcher 3 on with GOG Galaxy.

If you happen to have issues with that, grabbing a free copy of The Witcher 3 on GOG might be right up your alley. Technically, there is no DRM on The Witcher 3 on Steam either but you still can't play games from the same library at the same time, which is something that's possible on GOG. If that's not your cup of tea, though, there's no harm in playing legit and seeing just how far CD Projekt Red has come since the early days of The Witcher.Has anyone recently mentioned Geralt and you felt like reinstalling The Witcher 3? Is your copy on Steam and you are sharing the library with someone so either of you have to take a pause while the other one plays? This is one of the inconveniences with Steam library sharing that GOG doesn't have issues with, thanks to the DRM-free nature of the games on their store. Since I was mostly focused on the story (and had already finished the game years back), I just downloaded speed and god mode mods to make things a bit smoother in my most recent playthrough. The combat system can be a bit tedious, as can Geralt's slow walking speed, but there are mods that address both of these issues in different ways. It's an excellent way to deepen your understanding of Geralt's personality, and it introduces players to several key characters they'll meet later in the series, such as Lambert and Eskel, Vesemir, Triss, Shani, and Thaler.

Though this RPG is quite dated by today's standards, it is still well worth playing if you've never tried it before.

Starting today, all GOG Galaxy users can snag a free copy of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut. Freebie: While many gamers – us included – continue to wait for CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077 (arriving December 10 or 9, depending on your location) release date, the company's DRM-free storefront GOG is looking to give us all something to play in the meantime.
