Here’s some good news for anyone with a gaming PC. You can get The Witcher 3: Wild hunt for free on GOG, as long as you already own it on PS4 or Xbox One (or other PC storefronts). And if you don’t don’t have a copy, you can get a console version right now on sale for cheap. The promotion runs through June 23, so claim your free copy soon.

To get your free Witcher 3, download and open GOG Galaxy 2.0, click the promotion’s banner on the Witcher 3 page, and connect to the platform you own Witcher 3 on. The version you’ll get is the same one you already own on the other platform, either standard edition or Game of the Year.

The GOG copy of the game also includes some digital extras. You’ll get an extended game soundtrack with four bonus tracks, The Witcher official paper toys, and The Witcher: House of Glass digital comic book.
Unfortunately the deal doesn’t work with the Switch version of the game since you can’t connect your Nintendo account to GOG. But you might want to pick up the Switch version anyway, since it supports cross-save with PC and is also on sale right now.
If you have trouble accessing your free copy or want more details, check the the promotion’s FAQ on GOG.
While we’re on the subject of free PC games, you can also pick up the Eye of the Beholder trilogy for free on GOG. And while you’re at it, you might as well check out our running list of free PC games and streaming service trials. Because why pay money for something when you can get it for free?
