The card game which was famously first revealed in The Witcher 3, Gwent is now available to play via the public beta on PC, Xbox One or PlayStation 4.

“We’re opening the gates to everyone who wanted to play, but didn’t make it into the Closed Beta, and — at the same time — we’re introducing some pretty significant content and gameplay changes like adding animated versions of cards for every card in the game, new starter decks, or how weather cards work, I’m extra curious how all of the community feedback we’ve incorporated will resonate with both current players and those who’re just starting. Please keep the feedback coming, we’re listening!”

– Marcin Iwiński, co-founder of CD PROJEKT RED
