The Witcher Online is now available on PC
Modders have released The Witcher Online, a must-have The Witcher 3 multiplayer mod
Modders have successfully added multiplayer to The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, allowing players to play through the entire game with their friends. With The Witcher Online, players can travel together, complete quests together, and simply chill out together within the world of The Witcher 3.
Players will be able to complete full playthroughs of The Witcher 3 together using this mod. However, it is worth noting that only player locations are synced. While your friends can complete the same battles/encounters at the same time as you, they may not necessarily have the same world state or NPC locations. This means that they will not be able to fight your enemies. You may be fighting together, but you will be battling alone.
Since quests, NPCs, and world states are not synced, it is recommended that players enter cutscenes and complete objectives simultaneously. Additionally, choosing identical dialog options is also recommended. That said, players are free to play together with unsynced save files without risk of save file corruption or other issues. After all, only player locations and movements are synced with this mod.
Other players cannot help you fight monsters, solve puzzles, or complete objectives. Because of this, you each must try to complete objectives at the same time as each other throughout the storyline.

How to play The Witcher Online
While this mod won’t suddenly turn The Witcher 3 into an MMO, it does create a new and exciting way to play one of PC’s best RPGs. To use this mod, all gamers need is version 4.04 (the newest version) of The Witcher 3 on GOG, Steam, or the Epic Games Store. This mod is available to download through Nexus Mods. A detailed guide for this mod is available online here.

CD Projekt Red aren’t interested in making a “The Witcher” MMO. This mod may be the closest thing that we ever get to an MMO set in The Witcher’s universe. It’s not perfect, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s a fun idea for one of PC’s most beloved RPGs.
