The witcher 3 download size
Hey guys I was thinking of buying the original game on a sale ( I know it's a full price worthy game, but i don't have that much money).
So i was wondering what is it's EXACT DOWNLOADING SIZE? Not installing, I don't care how much space does it takes.

I wanna know the exact original witcher 3 download size..

I don't think of buying the goty edition but you can tell me of that too.

And I know this post is gonna be moved into witcher 3 discussion so I'll not a lbe able to reply to any of you.

Just please tell me the downloading size, I have very much problem with internet

Why did you not get it on steam? Is going better?
Mine says that it's 49GB

Original and not GOTY??
Trying to install it on steam shows 49gb
Store page shows 35gb

Not sure on end compression and the like. As a rule of thumb have a bit of spare space regardless.

Edit: Standard Edition with all DLC except for soundtracks; not sure where those files go.

GoG is my first choice service to buy games. I prefer my games DRM FREE. :)
Whats DRM?

Digital Rights Management.

It's basically software bundled within a games' executable file that checks for piracy, usually by contacting the internet or by "phoning home" to a server somewhere (Denuvo DRM does that).

Technically speaking, Witcher 3, as well as every game by CD Projekt Red, are DRM Free, as they also own the GoG Storefront which has a rule against DRM being included with games.

Usually though, when people think about GoG's DRM Free offerings, they think about games that require no launcher or internet connection to play. For example, you can download Witcher 3 off GoG's website without using their software to do it, whereas on Steam you'd need to use Steam to download it. Both don't have DRM in it though.

If you install the GoG Galaxy client, downloads work much like they do on Steam, you can pause the download whenever you want. The game has all features it has on other platforms, as GoG is the platform created and owned by the developers/publishers of Witcher 3.
