The Witcher 4 has become all the rage since its reveal trailer was shown off at The Game Awards. CDPR’s latest RPG promises an all-new adventure for all sorts of fans, featuring Ciri as the main character.

With excitement at an all-time high, some may be disappointed to learn that The Witcher 4 is still a few years away. Fortunately for them, The Witcher 3 has aged like fine wine, and the RPG is going through a major resurgence on Steam, making this the perfect time to jump in.

According to SteamDB, The Witcher 3 has reached 44,179 concurrent players within the last 24 hours on Steam alone. For context, this peak concurrent player count marks a new high in 2024. In fact, the RPG last saw similar player counts in early 2023.

The Witcher 3 is currently discounted by 80%, which, combined with the excitement created by CDPR’s first showing of The Witcher 4, has enticed players to return to Geralt’s final adventure in the series.

Moreover, fans have pushed the game quite high up on Steam’s best-sellers list.
