The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt developers CD Projekt Red have announced that they will not be shipping the PC version of the game with DRM.
This is the third Witcher title to either have the DRM patched out, or removed completely at launch.
Co-founder and Joint CEO of CD Projekt Red, Marcin Iwinski announced the news over on the company’s blog:
I’d like to say it loud and clear: The PC version of The Witcher 3 will have absolutely no DRM from day 0. Zero. Zip. Nada. It doesn’t matter if you choose to buy it on GOG.com and support us directly or buy the game in box format, you’ll still get the 100% DRM-free experience. And this goes for the whole world.
It’ll be on Steam; the team isn’t going to exclude that community by any means. Gamers have a choice in where they buy their games, but where CDPR does have control — like GOG.com — there will be absolutely no DRM.
This should please PC gamers, who will also be receiving all Witcher 3 DLC for free.
CD Projekt RED’s upcoming sequel is set to expand upon the critically-acclaimed predecessor, and with the technology and power of next-gen gaming machines, it’s looking to do so with ease.
