Toss a coin to your developers…

If a Netflix show and years of people going on about it have finally convinced you to consider giving The Witcher a go, good news: to celebrate the fifth birthday of The Witcher 3, the whole series is on sale. Both Steam and GOG have big Witcher sales, including the whole RPG series plus various spin-offs. £10 for The Witcher 3 and both expansions is a good price for so many grimaces and weary sighs, every one of them great.

HitSteamandGOGfor the sale pages. The Steam sale ends on June 1st, while GOG’s will end on Monday, May 25th. The Witcher 3, and only The Witcher 3, is also discountedon the Epic Games Storein its own sale.

If you’re coming fresh from the show (which is based on the original books, same as CD Projekt Red’s games are), I thinkit’s fine to start with The Witcher 3. I can see why VidBud Matthew recommened showfans start with the second, though, with its focus more on kings and politics. I do think you’re missing out if you skip the first, but I understand it’s old enough to put off some folks. Look, you’ll be fine.

The sales do also include the digital adaptation of the Witcher board game and Thronebreaker, the singleplayer spin-off of the card game Gwent. Brendy’sThronebreaker reviewthought it was fine. Oh, speaking of Gwent, thatlaunched on Steamtoday too, after years exclusive to GOG.
