Today marks the first WitcherCon, an online convention dedicated to all thingsThe Witcher. The event was put together by Netflix in partnership with CD Projekt Red and is intended for fans of the books, games, television shows, and all otherWitchermedia. To help persuade someWitcherfans to tune in, CD Projekt Red and the GOG gaming storefront are offering a variety of “goodie bag” prizes, just like if WitcherCon was being held in person.
One of the biggest freebies CD Projekt Red calls attention to is afree copy ofThe Witcher: Enhanced Edition. All that’s necessary to pick up the free game is to download the GOG Galaxy PC app. What CD Projekt Red doesn’t mention is thatThe Witcher: Enhanced Editionhas been free to everyone who downloads GOG Galaxy since Jun 03, 2025. There’s no harm in calling attention to it for WitcherCon, though.

As for WitcherCon exclusive goodies, at 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET a special Witcher-Universe Giveaway will begin. This giveaway will “start” with aWitcher-themed goodie pack. Items in the pack include assorted digital content. For example, there are fourGWENTitems, two digitalWitchercomics, and a download for aThe Witcher 3: Wild Huntconcert video. It’s unclear if everyone will be able to get this pack or if it’s a random prize.
Additionally, GOG will be heavily discounting all of its games fromThe Witcherfranchise as part of the WitcherCon Event.The Witcher 3: Wild Huntis discounted 80% down to $9.99,The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Editionis 85% off at $2.99, and while the originalWitchergame is free on GOG Galaxy, those who’d rather pay for it can get it for 85% off at $1.49 if they want. BothThe Witcher Adventure GameandThronebreaker: The Witcher Talesare discounted, too, priced at $1.49 and $5.99 respectively.
Both theWitcherdigital prize pack and the GOG discounts will be available not just throughWitcherCon, but through the weekend. The giveaways will end on July 12 at 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET. SinceThe Witcher: Enhanced Editiongiveaway is just part of the GOG Galaxy platform, it won’t be ending.

The schedule features a Q&A regarding Netflix’s second season ofThe Witchershow, said to feature plenty of “surprise reveals,” an introduction toGWENT, a panel with CD Projekt Red developers regarding theWitchergames, and a final interview withHenry Cavillwith one or two more surprises.
