Gwent: The Witcher Card Game is an upcoming free-to-play collectible card game being developed by CD Projekt RED for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.[2][3] The game was announced in June 2016, at Microsoft's E3 Xbox briefing.

The game is derived from the card game of the same name, playable in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It will feature cross-platform play between the Windows and Xbox One versions.[4] A closed beta was released in October 2016 for Windows and Xbox One.[5]

The game is a turn-based card game between two players, each player must play one card each turn from a deck of twenty-five to forty cards with a faction that offers different playstyle and unique abilities. The goal is to win 2 out of 3 rounds by playing cards and spells to gain strength on the board. Winning round rewards the player with either ores, scraps or cards. Players can gain additional cards by buying kegs with ores or through microtransactions, each keg contains 5 cards. Cards can also be crafted with scraps. Currently, players can choose to play in either casual or ranked game mode.
