GOG claims it’s because there is “no Nintendo Switch integration.” That’s a shame, considering The Witcher 3’s cross-save system that lets you take your PC progress on the go. While these things are already cool, fans were really happy to learn that they can now transfer their save files between the Switch and PC versions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Sadly, Switch owners got snubbed for this promotion. Game version 3.6 now empowers the hybrid version with touch controls, while additional graphics options and performance optimizations have been introduced as well. Now until June 23rd at 7AM ET, you can claim a copy through the company’s GOG Galaxy desktop game library app. It could be a way to get more people to try out the GOG distribution platform, which is owned by CD Projekt, the publisher of The Witcher games, ahead of the upcoming September release of the company’s next big game, Cyberpunk 2077. Though the giveaway might seem a little weird, it’s not necessarily charity.
Additionally, GOG will also throw in a few extra digital goodies, like the game’s soundtrack, too. If you want to keep it for yourself, GOG provides a DRM-free copy, unlike Steam or the Epic Games Store.
