Larian’s Swen Vincke posted a tweet yesterday showing the game hitting 500,000 concurrent players, making it the third most played game on all of Steam He said that he told IT to only expect 100,000 concurrents at max.
Frankly I think that’s laughable. The Witcher 3 is fine production quality wise, but it’s not even sort of competitive with BG3. The main quest line vs BG3 side quests, maybe, but there’s a huge step down to the animation quality of anything else.
I’m still working my way through BG2, but even watching main story quests in BG3 in the footage that’s coming out around launch, the thought frequently enters my mind that the Witcher 3 looks better, like it got better touch-ups beyond what the engine automates for them.
