The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Sets New Record Thanks to Netflix Series
Thanks, Netflix.
Amid the popularity of the Netflix series The Witcher, interest in the game about the character is also growing.
The game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt set a new record for the number of active players — more than 94 thousand people are playing it, which is 96% more than a month ago. The game's previous record was just over 92 thousand people — that was in 2015, right after the game's release.
On Twitch, the game has also gained popularity — this week, streams of The Witcher were watched by 31 thousand people, while in October the game drew an average of about 400 viewers a day.
The Witcher series premiered on Netflix on December 20. Andrzej Sapkowski, author of the popular fantasy saga, is very pleased with Henry Cavill's performance in the series. Netflix also renewed The Witcher for a second season.
