On December 12, CD Projekt's digital PC game storefront GOG kicked off its annual Winter Sale. For a limited time, thousands of PC games available on GOG will be available for much lower prices, and up to six games will be given away for free throughout the sale.
The sale is just the beginning of a big week for GOG and CD Projekt. Starting on December 14, the free next-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will roll out globally, starting at 12 AM GMT for PC and Xbox Series X/S, and at 12 AM local time for PS5. Between the free update and the sale, the distribution servers of CD Projekt and its partners will see plenty of traffic over the coming days as players purchase, download, and update the games of their choice.
Though The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available for $9.99 as part of the GOG Winter Sale, it is far from the only game getting a major discount. For the next 72 hours, GOG users can claim Ghost of a Tale for free. This action-RPG revolves around the adventures of Tilo, a mouse and wandering minstrel. After the free claim period has passed for Ghost of a Tale, users can pick up another game and other digital goods shortly after at no cost. This is in line with what GOG has done for giveaways in the past, as it gave away Genesis Alpha One for its Halloween Sale in October. Players wanting a good deal will only have from now until January 2 to take part in the GOG Winter Sale.
True to the storefront's original moniker of "Good Old Games," a bunch of classic PC games received sizable discounts. Diablo: Hellfire is on sale for $7.49 for players that want to experience or relive the first game in the Diablo series. For those into fighting games, the PC port of Mortal Kombat Trilogy is priced at $6.99, which features the first three entries in NetherRealm Studios' long-running series. Some modern titles have been included in the event, as well. For RPG fans that enjoy robust magic systems, Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition is now 60% off, at $17.99.
Two games released this year, Cult of the Lamb and Return to Monkey Island, are on sale for 20% off, down to $19.99 each, as part of Devolver Digital's participation in the sale. While Return to Monkey Island was a fitting comeback for the point-and-click genre, Cult of the Lamb was a surprise hit in 2022. With thousands of titles to pick from, there's a game for practically anyone at this year's GOG Winter Sale.
