Witcher season 2 created another big spike in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt players
The most players since 2019.

The release of as I reported then, with over 100,000 concurrent players.
A spike to 71,000 doesn't quite reach the launch peak, which was over 92,000, but it does continue to impress that a now over six year old singleplayer PC game continues to attract so many concurrent players. Perhaps people are picking it up, or returning to it, having just watched season 2.
Anyway, as far as "video game shows" goes, it makes you wonder if popularity could work in the other direction. Could we get a rad rights.
Either way, I expect when delayed Witcher 3 next generation upgrade will be out and the game will look a bit more... 2023? 2024? We'll see whenever that happens.
