But the thing is, once you claim the game, you can simply uninstall the client, and The Witcher will still be in your account, allowing you to download the installer separately, without the need for the client itself. Click on the giveaway button, and the game will show up in your account. From there, if you don’t already own The Witcher Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut, you should see a banner across the top of the page. To actually claim the game, you’ll need to either install or update the GOG Galaxy client. But with the modding community still going strong, there’s still life in the game. Yeah, they’ve had many times before where they’ve given it away for free.

This of course comes ahead of CD Projekt Red's next major game release – Cyberpunk 2077, which is also the studio's first non-Witcher game.Need something to tide you over until Cyberpunk 2077 gets released later this week? CD Projekt RED have decided to make their very first game, coincidentally the first entry in The Witcher series, absolutely free on GOG.com. There doesn't appear to be a time limit on this giveaway, so this could be an offer for a long time to come. After that, the game should show up in your GOG account library. To claim The Witcher through GOG Galaxy, you'll need to launch the client, select the ‘recent' view and click on the banner that shows the giveaway. The combat hasn't aged particularly well, but the story makes up for it in my opinion. If you've wondered how CD Projekt Red's journey with Geralt all started, then this is well worth claiming. Starting from this week, all GOG Galaxy users can claim a free GOG copy of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut. This week, GOG is sweetening the deal for users of the launcher, by offering up CD Projekt Red's first Witcher game for free. The folks at GOG have been working on their Galaxy universal games launcher for a while now.
