The Witcher 3's remaster just brought it to a new all-time concurrent player count peak
Toss a coin—oh, it's a free upgrade.
It has been over a decade since The Witcher 3 first released, but its remaster has brought the game to new heights of popularity. Reaching a whopping 123,359 concurrent players just an hour ago, it marks a significant increase from its August peak of just over 30,000. Despite being a decade old, The Witcher 3 remains one of the best open world RPGs in its genre.
PC Gamer's Shaun Prescott praised the game in 2015, calling it "a big, beautiful, sprawling action RPG full of rich stories, and suffused with an oppressive darkness" and scoring it a 92%. The remaster is free for those who already own the base game and is currently half-off during Steam's autumn sale. With new bells and whistles, enhanced gameplay, and a host of mods available, players are flocking back to the Continent to experience The Witcher 3 once again.
