Deal | From $39.99 to $3.99: Steam sale drops genre-defining RPG game to record-low price

CD Projekt Red has already teased The Witcher 4, but the release is not expected to happen before 2027. For those who didn't get the chance to try out the prequel, now might be a good time to grab it.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is currently down to $3.99 on Steam, which is a 90% discount from the $39.99 regular price of the game. This is the record-low price on the platform, and this sale will be available until December 11, 2025.

Released in 2015, The Witcher 3 is considered a genre-defining RPG game, where players take on the role of Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster hunter. Placed in a war-torn fantasy continent, Geralt gets tasked to find his adoptive daughter Ciri.

Its narrative-driven quests are praised by most who have tried the game, and the morally complex characters add depth to the story. Speaking of which, The Witcher 3 puts players against moral choices throughout the journey, and these have lasting consequences, another praised factor.

Critics further highlight the expansive, living open-world map with detailed elements that set each of the major areas apart. As for the combat, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt mixes rewarding swordplay with magic. Many also praise the atmospheric music and stunning visuals of the game.

Of course, this game isn't everyone's cup of tea. As some players note, the main quest can feel like a prolonged series of fetch quests and errands. The combat can also take some time to get used to, and the sheer volume of content can overwhelm players.

Currently, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt holds an Overwhelmingly Positive player rating on Steam with over 220 thousand reviews. It's tagged as Steam Deck Verified, comes with controller support (8BitDo Ultimate 2C wireless curr. $22.99 on Amazon), and has won over 200 GOTY awards.
