The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Will Have No DRM

Given in the past CD Projekt’s titles have had DRM, at least in their boxed form, the folks at the Polish studio wanted to clear any misconceptions on The Witcher threequel with an open letter. The gist of it is simple enough: the title has no DRM whatsoever.

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.

We’ve fiddled with DRM in the past (Oh boy! How young and naïve we were;)) and that’s enough. Lesson learned.

Having said that, I’d like to thank you for your continuous support. You’ve bought six million copies of the Witcher games so far. Whoo-hoo! Let’s celebrate. Here, have some cake!

…

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.
