That scrappy Polish studio that developed a computer RPG based on the monster hunting novels by Andrzej Sapkowski is all grown up. CD Projekt, parent company of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 developers, are now valued as the second largest gaming company in Europe, beat only by Ubisoft.
CD Projekt say The Witcher 3 has now sold enough on Steam to qualify for the biggest sales cut available on Valve’s platform. Hitting $50 million ( 38m) means Valve will only take 20% – which is still more than Epic take from all and any sales from any game. Congratulations to The Witcher for reaching that 80% cut, but it is wild that even a game this big has taken so long to score Steam’s best deal.

So I thought I’d help lessen the load for those still at the beginning of their monster-hunting journey with these 12 Witcher 3 tips for beginners.

Netflix’s own Witcher TV show is, as we know, based on ye olde novels by Andrzej Sapkowski and not the RPG trilogy by CD Project Red. But we’ve all seen the bathtub scene, yeah? So we know there’s some of the video game DNA in the small screen version of Geralt’s adventures if you know where to look. Showrunner Lauren Hissrich says that it’s not just the White Wolf’s thorough washing that came from the games. The Witcher 3‘s beautiful visuals were an inspiration as well.
The best RPGs have always found their home on PC, but it’s a big genre and it can be difficult to know what you should play next. That’s why we’ve put together this list.
Geralt’s been having quite the romp since his new TV show popped up on Netflix. With the help of modders, he’s gone and invaded just about every RPG in the last couple months.

Mads Mikkelsen is the new witcher in town. Why? I don’t know, but it does look a lot like him, dunnit?
