The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is currently enjoying an impressive revival off the back of the recent Netflix series. The highly rated role-playing title is almost five years old at this point, but age doesn't matter when people are going gaga for Geralt.
Indeed, the latest UK sales charts give us a glimpse into just how popular the property is right now. As GamesIndustry reports, The Witcher 3 sales continue to rise. The game re-entered the charts two weeks ago at number 38. Last week, it jumped to number 20. This week? Number 12. If this trend continues, it could actually end up breaking into the top 10, which is crazy.
All eyes are on next week's charts, then. Do you think Geralt and the gang can get the job done? Consider playing through The Witcher 3 for the eighth time in the comments section below.

Can’t wait to get home to play with my sword collection!
Well better late then never! I will have liked if it sold as. Much as GTA V
I really want to dive back in and try one of the expansions but I've got to many other games to get through.
Loving the books though!
It's been five years since The Witcher 3's release?
Crazy.
Well, I have bought and played the Witcher 3 GOTY on the PC. During the last sale I bought it again on PS4 and I'm not even the biggest Witcher fan It's just a great game.
I wonder if this will establish a trend whereby publishers pursue getting their IP turned into TV shows. The Netflix show apparently has turned into an 8 hour advertisement for the game.
@Deadlyblack almost! Technically it came out 4 years, 8 months, 8 days ago. I mean who is counting 😉
@Bliquid I’m the same. I already own the game, but never got into it fully. I also haven’t watched the series yet and I might end up being re-interested into trying the game again like you have.
Few days ago I decided to check where I was on my like 5th playthrough...and I was at that party with annoying Vlodimir having took over Geralt's body and making him look like a complete a**. Just had to Close Application 😆 but I'll be back.
Games shouldn't be adapted into movies, it never works. A TV series is the best place for this I think, TLOU as a 8 part mini series would be incredible. As a movie? Nah.
@Bliquid - I did exactly the same; never felt much connection with the Witcher game (though appreciated the world-building), but after watching the series, reinstalled the game and bought the DLC. I do think the game's Geralt looks a touch.. ugly, now though, if I'm honest.
@Ridwaano 4 years, 8 months and 8 days still feels like 1 year lol.
Time flies.
I am one of those people who recently purchased! Have sunk ~80 hours in and am on Skellige. Great game that I can’t believe I missed 5 years ago
Best game in the world!
Its pretty amazing really. Of course the show helped a lot and it even got me replaying it yet again but it does show how fantastic the game is, a lot of my friends have been playing it because of the show as well.
Still the best game this generation in my opinion. That could change as we reach the final stages but as far as I am concerned, its the best game available right now. I know others may have their own and different opinion - which is fair enough but its my 'game of the generation' (so far).
A classic. I plan on another playthrough on PS5 with better load times.
@kyleforrester87 your so lucky! Mine havent arrived yet. But i have trained my kids to fall down when i throw upbmy hand and yell aard!
@ellsworth004 when yours arrive we can meet in the forest and play fantasy
Best game this generation
