CD Projekt Red Renews The Witcher License | Screen Rant – Screen Rant
The developer behind the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red, and the author responsible for creating The Witcher, Andrezej Sapkowski, have reached a new licensing deal that will see the studio retain rights to keep developing games based on the intellectual property. There’s no question that The Witcher has turned into a major pop culture sensation of sorts, with the license just receiving its very own Netflix series. While reviews on that are mixed, the game franchise holds a special place in the hearts of gamers.
The adventures of Geralt of Rivea are legendary amongst the game-playing public now, to the point that the character was even dubbed worthy enough to join the roster of Soul Calibur 6. Most recently, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt debuted on Xbox Game Pass, much to the delight of gamers subscribed to the service. But there was a lingering question about just how long developer CD Projekt Red would be able to hold onto the license after the franchise’s creator, Andrezej Sapkowski, was outspoken about how unpleased he was with the current deal.

Evidently, these public statements were eventually led to a resolution in the form of a new deal between CD Projekt Red and Sapkowski – as announced on the developer’s official website. The news broke on December 20th, coinciding with the release of the first season of The Witcher on Netflix, making for a fantastic marketing play. Details on the licensing agreement have been sealed by an embargo, which will also prevent Sapkowski from publically voicing his displeasure with any new deal moving forward. All in all, however, each party appears to be content with the new arrangement.
According to a statement released by President and Join CEO of CD Projekt Red, Adam Kiciński, “we’ve always admired Mr. Andrzej Sapkowski’s works — a great inspiration for the team here at CD PROJEKT RED. I believe today marks a new stage in our continued relationship.” Most importantly, the new deal is said to lay out the framework for future collaborations between the two parties.
It also allegedly builds on CD Projekt Red’s “title to ‘The Witcher’ intellectual property in video games, graphic novels, board games, and merchandise.” Truthfully, it sounds like both sides are walking away for the better. At the very least, here’s hoping this new deal leaves a better taste in the mouth of Sapkowski, although it doesn’t sound as if he’ll be able to talk about it even if it doesn’t.

Nvidia’s latest budget graphics card hits digital store shelves today.
The GeForce RTX 3060 is the little sibling of its RTX 3070, 3080 and 3090 counterparts, but it’s still a powerful GPU in its own right.
Early reviews all seem to agree: The RTX 3060 is a perfectly fine card at a decent price, but it’s not as impressive as its more powerful siblings.
The RTX 3060 goes on sale today at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET and if you’re looking to score one you should be at your online retailer of choice, refreshing the page, by this time. It’s possible some websites could crash, but more likely that bot-equipped scalpers and crypto miners will simply try to scoop all these up before normal gamers can buy one.
Be sure to already be logged in with payment info saved at whichever site you choose.
Note: These sites don’t have live product pages yet, so these links will take you to a search at each site that should populate with the GPU when it goes live.
The RTX 3060 features DLSS and Ray-Tracing and has impressive specs for a budget card, including:
- 3584 CUDA Cores
- 1.78Ghz boost clock
- 1.32Ghz base clock
- 12 GB GDDR6 memory
- 192-bit memory interface width
Good luck finding one of these today. It’s a terrible time to try and find a new GPU as Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to go up with no signs of stopping and crypto-mining is back in fashion something fierce.

Even more garbage than 3.0.
One UI era had 2.5, it was the peak. After that every of their update was producing more and more bugs, especially the A11 battery drain on every device.

WINNIPEG —
A pair of Manitoba schools had a special visitor on Wednesday, and it was surely an out-of-this-world experience.
Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk paid a virtual visit to students at Christ the King and Edward Schreyer Schools.
The two schools won a visit from an astronaut through a contest put on by the Canadian Space Agency’s Junior Astronauts initiative.
Kutryk provided students with an overview of his job, and answered questions on training, eating, space and the specialized tools astronauts use.
“If you’re in space and you crank that wrench one way, it doesn’t turn the bolt, it turns you,” he explained to students.
“You go the other way just as fast as you cranked the wrench.”
While Kutryk was able to easily answer most of the students’ questions, he was stumped by one asking why the moon, and not the sun, controls tides on earth.
For kids interested in becoming an astronaut one day, the Canadian Space Agency is holding junior astronaut recruitment for students Grades 6 to 9 to participate in a virtual camp in July.
