Gwent: The Witcher Card Game is a singleplayer and multiplayer top-down view CCG and strategy game in the The Witcher series.

Support for the Microsoft Store/UWP version was suspended on December 28, 2018.[2] Players can migrate to the GOG version by requesting an account transfer.

As of late 2023, the game is no longer actively supported, with card balancing left to the community.[3]
