After CD Projekt Red announced a surprise expansion for The Witcher 3, over 29,000 Steam players booted up the RPG – the most in months

Geralt with a bloody lip lies on the ground.

A new Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past, was hurriedly announced on May 27 after CD Projekt Red accidentally leaked its own reveal ahead of schedule. On May 29, the Steam player count for The Witcher 3 jumped to 29,166 – one of the highest points seen all year, and a peak ahead of several months as far back as 2020, according to SteamDB.

As CDPR superfan Alox noted, this is the biggest Steam spike The Witcher 3 has seen since February 22, back when it was part of the Steam Lunar Sale and discounted down to just $7.99.
