Games You Only Need One Copy Of To Play With Others

Games You Only Need One Copy Of To Play With Others https://ift.tt/VjqflAv Gaming has never been more expensive. We're here to investigate why, and help you play more while spending less. Welcome to GameSpot Cheap Week . Fewer and fewer games emphasize couch co-op these days, as we've moved to an increasingly online world that often assumes if you're playing video games with your friend, you're doing it in two different locations over the internet. That's all well and good, but it also means that in most cases, you and your friend both need to own a copy of a game in order to play it together. Yes, most of the time this is true, but a number of games have released over the last several years that support cooperative play without everyone needing to own a copy. This is usually accomplished via a digital item called a Friend's Pass, which lets someone without the game access it as long as they're playing with someone who does own the game.  Infla...

The Witcher 3 Is Getting New DLC Nearly 12 Years After Launch

The Witcher 3 Is Getting New DLC Nearly 12 Years After Launch https://ift.tt/DMYLd7z

The Witcher 3 developer CD Projekt Red has announced the new Songs of the Past expansion for the game, which comes 11 years after its second expansion, Blood and Wine. Co-developed with Fool's Theory--a studio that includes several Witcher 3 veterans and previously released The Thaumaturge in 2024--Songs of the Past will be revealed in more detail later this year.

What CDPR has revealed is that the expansion will launch in 2027 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S versions of The Witcher 3, and it will once again revolve around Geralt of Rivia. Rumors about a new Witcher 3 DLC began picking up earlier this year, with initial reports speculating that the DLC could see players visit the far-eastern destination of Zerrikania. New reports claimed that the DLC will instead reuse existing assets and will be set in the territories of Temeria and Redania.

CDPR has also confirmed that system requirements for The Witcher 3 on PC will be updated to "ensure smooth performance and compatibility" going forward. This means that any Witcher 3 player running the game on a Windows 10 operating system will need to upgrade to Windows 11 if they want to keep playing it. If you're curious, you can check out the updated PC specs below for The Witcher 3:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i5-8400
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB
  • VRAM: 6GB
  • RAM: 12GB
  • Storage: 70GB SSD
  • Operating System: 64-bit Windows 11

Curiously, CDPR also teased something else for this week. "We originally planned to make this big reveal during our REDstreams tomorrow, but let’s say we found something we didn't yet expect on RED Launcher," the studio said in a social media post that included wolf and swords emojis, symbols related to The Witcher franchise.

It's a busy time for The Witcher franchise currently, as not only is there new content on the way for The Witcher 3, but the first game is getting a remake and The Witcher 4 is also in development. Outside of that franchise, CDPR is also working on a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, and a new Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime series is also in the works.
