The Witcher 3 was already one of the best-selling video games last year, but after the fantastic live adaptation on Netflix, it improved again. WITCHER 3 sales figures increased by 554% year-on-year after launching the show on the streaming platform. Not only that, many players who had already played at the game returned to play again, which gave the greatest number of simultaneous players for the game on Steam. Already considered a classic by many, CD Projekt Red is on an absolute momentum with the hype behind the exit of CyberPunk strong enough to almost guarantee a bestseller.
In addition, the Witcher series of the Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski saw his sales progress even more. Two weeks after the release of the show, the book recorded a 562% increase in sales compared to what he had sold during the same period in 2018. The last wish, the book on which the show. was based. Before the release of the video game, the book was almost unknown outside Poland, and now it became an international IP franchise. With the release of the show, it marks one of the biggest cases where video games have been the driving force of an adapted IP that becomes huge.
With the second season confirmed for the fantastic show, we would not be surprised to see another leap in the Sales of The Witcher 3 when leaving. The show, very well received by the public, seemed to have hit a good time after the disappointing final of Game of Throne. People hoped that something would replace this void, and even though The Witcher is radically different, the Dark Fantasy adventure seemed to have scratched this itch.
