All 16 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' Free DLCs Now Available For Xbox One, PS4 And PC

One of the best-selling action packed role-playing video games of the year just got better.

Polish game developer CD Projekt RED has announced the release of all 16 DLCs for the open-world video game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The best thing about it is that it’s free to download for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

The Witcher posted a tweet sharing the bewitching news for The Witcher 3 fans:

New additions to the game include alternative character appearances, new quests, new contracts, new armor and weaponry sets, and the New Game Plus mode that allows gamers to embark on a new game after accomplishing missions without losing any of their previous gear.

"I’d like to extend my thanks to all the gamers who played our game and gave these DLCs a try. Nothing makes a developer happier than seeing gamers have fun with what they created," CD Projekt RED co-founder Marcin Iwiński said in a statement.

Here’s how you can get the DLCs for your gaming platform:

The reason all DLC content is free to download for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt players is because the developers feel that they owe the game's fans for paying full price for the game. Iwiński also hopes that CD Projekt’s initiative becomes a gaming industry standard rather than an exception to the rule.
