The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is breaking records five years after the release. Thanks to Netflix's TV series, CD Projekt Red's RPG managed to attract more than 100k concurrent players on 01 January 2020.

Netflix have released the list of the most popular films and TV series in of 2019. The list includes The Irishman, Stranger Things 3 and The Witcher TV series that premiered last week.

Andrzej Sapkowski recently became the most popular author on Amazon as The Witcher books started selling like hotcakes. Considering a major bump in The Witcher 3 concurrent players as well, it's hard to ignore what started the trend.

CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has broken its own record of concurrent players it held since 2015. The player resurgence is thanks in no small part to an ongoing sale of the game, coupled with the holiday break and the popular Netflix series.

CD Projekt Red said more than once that The Witcher games were what financed their modernisation efforts and indirectly led to Cyberpunk 2077, but we weren't aware that it made the Polish developer the biggest success story in EU's stock markets.

CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has seen an increase in the concurrent player count back when the Netflix series was first teased and now the numbers are in an upward trajectory once more. The Witcher series premiered on 20 December 2019.

Most fans of CD Projekt Red's RPG franchise The Witcher are probably familiar with the bad blood between the dev and the writer of the original books Andrzej Sapkowski, but the Polish studio once again showed their class by extending an olive branch.

In their latest announcement, Polish developer CD Projekt Red have officially confirmed that they have reached an agreement which solidifies and reinforces their relationship with The Witcher saga author Andrzej Sapkowski.

Henry Cavill, the man who plays Geralt in Netflix's The Witcher TV series says that staying home, playing Total War: Warhammer II and his other favourite games is much more fun for him than going out.
