The Witcher 3 Is Free to Keep This September – 175 Hours of RPG Brilliance Included

If you’ve somehow still not played Geralt of Rivia’s final adventure, September just removed your last excuse. CD Projekt Red’s legendary open-world RPG, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, is officially free to download for a limited time, and the giveaway sweetens the deal by including both of its critically acclaimed expansions, Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone.

A 10/10 Masterpiece, Now Completely Free

Since launching in 2015, The Witcher 3 has been the measuring stick against which nearly every open-world RPG is judged. Critics handed out perfect 10/10 scores, the game swept Game of the Year ceremonies, and it has since sold more than 50 million copies worldwide — a staggering figure that keeps growing years after release.

What makes the offer especially appealing is that the free version is the fully updated release, complete with the next-gen remaster treatment that brought ray tracing, improved textures, faster load times, and a suite of quality-of-life improvements. In other words, this is the definitive way to experience the Continent, at zero cost.

175 Hours of Monster Hunting Awaits

For completionists, The Witcher 3 is a long-term commitment. Between the sprawling base game, its two expansions, and the dozens of morally gray side quests scattered across Velen, Novigrad, and Skellige, a full playthrough can stretch to roughly 175 hours. Few games justify that time investment so consistently — nearly every quest, major or minor, is written with the care of a short story.

Both Award-Winning Expansions Are Included

Hearts of Stone

The first expansion delivers a compact but unforgettable 10-hour tale starring one of gaming’s most chilling villains, the mysterious Gaunter O’Dimm. Many fans consider its storytelling to be on par with — or even better than — the main campaign.

Blood and Wine

The larger of the two expansions introduces Toussaint, a sun-drenched, fairy-tale region inspired by the south of France. With roughly 30 hours of new content, a brand-new Gwent deck, and a vineyard you can call home, Blood and Wine won Best RPG at The Game Awards 2016 and serves as a heartfelt farewell to Geralt’s story.

How to Claim Your Free Copy

The free download is available through the Epic Games Store as part of its free games program. Simply log into your account, visit the store page during the promotional window, and claim the game — once it’s in your library, it’s yours to keep forever, even after the giveaway ends. Given that free promotions don’t last long, anyone interested should act quickly rather than assume the offer will still be there next week.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Dive In

Beyond the obvious appeal of getting a masterpiece for free, the timing couldn’t be better. CD Projekt Red is hard at work on The Witcher 4, which is set to follow Ciri as the new protagonist. Playing through The Witcher 3 and its expansions now means you’ll be fully caught up on the saga’s story, choices, and consequences before the next chapter arrives.

And if this giveaway sparks a shopping itch, TURGAME.com is a great place to stock up on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and GOG gift cards, as well as game keys for titles like Cyberpunk 2077 — ideal for building out your library while you sink 175 hours into Geralt’s world.

Free game giveaways this generous don’t come around often. A 10/10 RPG, two blockbuster expansions, and a next-gen overhaul, all for the price of a few clicks? Toss a coin to your wallet — because it’s keeping all its coin this time.
