The short version
- As of the time of writing, nearly 120,000 people are playing The Witcher 3 on Steam , making it the ninth most-played game on the PC platform.
- That of course does not include numbers from the likes of GOG and the Epic Games Store, where it's also being sold, nor the players on PlayStation, Switch 2 , and Xbox.
- The other notable peak was 89K in December 2022, when the next-gen update dropped.
What happened
With a playerbase of 65 million, there's a large community to excite, but it's a reminder of how much pulling-power CD Projekt Red's fantasy RPG has, all the same. And as America wakes up and downloads the update, the question is how high can the numbers go?
Why it matters
The Remastered edition of the Witcher 3 rolls out today, bringing with it a vast array of upgrades to the way it looks and plays.
