The Witcher 3 Remastered has set a new record for the number of players online at the same time on Steam, surpassing its previous peak. According to data from SteamDB, the earlier high for The Witcher 3 on Steam was recorded in January 2020, when the game was first released as part of the The Witcher series. That number was 103,329 players. Shortly after the release of the remastered version, the game reached a new high with 114,696 players online simultaneously. This is a significant jump from the 31,959 players recorded just last month, indicating a strong resurgence in interest. These figures only include players on Steam, and it is likely that many more people are playing the game on other platforms such as Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and other PC platforms like GOG and Battle.net. As the weekend approaches, the numbers are expected to rise further, as players have more free time to engage with the game. The remastered version is a free update for all existing owners of The Witcher 3, making it accessible to those with a decent gaming PC. However, the game had some issues at launch on PC, including a problem with AMD graphics cards that affected performance. The issue has since been resolved with an updated AMD driver, allowing players to enjoy the game without these technical hiccups. The remastered version includes a range of improvements, such as enhanced graphics, smoother animations, and overall better gameplay. Additionally, the game now supports path tracing, a technique that simulates the way light behaves in real life, but this feature requires a high-end machine to run effectively on PC.
