The CD Projekt RED title continues to grow in popularity through the Valve portal, where it continues to beat its best historical records.
The Witcher 3 has started the year 2020 beating its own record of simultaneous players on Steam. As we reported days ago, the premiere of the television series produced exclusively for Netflix has resulted in a peak of concurrent players playing the CD Projekt RED title on the Valve portal; Now, for the first time the barrier of 100,000 users has been overcome at the same time.
If on December 29 of the past year 2019, now figures of 101,930 concurrent users with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for PC are reported. In the absence of seeing if that data from January 1, 2020 will be exceeded or not, what is certain is that the media effect of the series has had a positive impact on the attention of the game.

It should be added, not in vain, that this does not necessarily mean that the sales of the game have grown exactly proportionally: they are concurrent players, not sales. That is, a percentage of the amount will correspond to users who already had the game. They have not transcended the sales of new buyers corresponding to the total.
Beyond the video game: books, series, cultural phenomenon
The Witcher saga lives its best moment at the media impact level. Regarding the videogame saga, we see it is in an enviable state of form even on Nintendo Switch, where it has recently been launched with the port of Saber Interactive, which has received very good reviews and is among the best sellers.
Beyond that, the television series is reaping very high levels of popularity and is, at least for the moment, one of the best rated productions of Netflix, according to aggregating portals such as IMBD. From FreeGameTips we have prepared several articles where we recommend the reading order of the books on which The Witcher is based.
On its creator, the author of the novels, Andrzej Sapkowski, has signed a new agreement with the Polish company CD Projekt RED where the percentage of royalties that will be taken from now on by the sales of everything related to the brand is reformulated.
