The Witcher 3 heading to Xbox Game Pass very soon

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is set to arrive on Xbox Game Pass on December 19th which, perhaps not-so-coincidentally, happens to be the day before the brand new The Witcher series arrives on Netflix.

It appears that, for now, The Witcher 3 will be an Xbox Game Pass for Console exclusive, meaning it’ll be available for both Console and Ultimate subscribers. There’s still a chance it’ll arrive on Game Pass for PC in the future, though.

Those who play The Witcher 3 via Xbox Game Pass will get to enjoy both the full game and all 16 free DLC. The Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone DLC will have to be purchased separately.

Winner of over 800 awards, including more than 250 Game of the Year awards, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven, open world RPG set in a dark fantasy universe.

The game follows the story of professional monster slayer Geralt of Rivia, tasked with tracking down the child of prophecy — a living weapon that can alter the shape of the world.

As the witcher, gamers will explore a massive, war-ravaged continent, battle foes both human and monster alike, as well as face meaningful choices and their consequences.

While you’re waiting for The Witcher 3 to hit Xbox Game Pass, why not check out one of the recently added games?

Delightfully demonic pinball game Demon’s Tilt and side-scrolling musical adventure Wandersong were added a few days back. Both games are available on both Game Pass for PC and for Console.

Tom Clancy’s The Division, eFootball PES 2020, Pathologic 2, and Overcooked 2 arrived on Xbox Game Pass for Console on December 12th.

Pathologic 2 was also added to Xbox Game Pass for PC on the same day, along with Metro Last Light Redux, Age of Wonders: Planetfall, and Human: Fall Flat.

Untitled Goose Game is also set to waddle onto both Xbox One and Xbox Game Pass for Console on December 17th, if you’re willing to wait 3 more days.
