Gwent support ending for consoles next week

Deck depleted

Gwent is one of the better free-to-play card games in an ever-growing sea of them, but to quote John Darnielle, “good things never last, bad things never die.” This coming Monday, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Gwent will cease receiving updates. Additionally, real-life money will no longer be accepted in-game. These vers♔ions will remain operational in a closed environment with their respective consoles ꧟until servers are officially shut down on June 9, 2020.

Players who wish to continue receiving updates and spending real-world money will be given the option to transfer their accounts to PC or mobile platforms. A GOG account is necessary for this transfer and the move must be made before the official end date next year which gives players roughly six mon🍬ths to move to another platform.

CD Projekt explained the discontinuation, saying it can’t “support a growing number of different versions of Gwent while improving feature parity between them.” With the release of Gwent on iOS a few months ago and an Android version coming soon — as well as the eighth-generation consoles moving into the gaming retirement home — it’s not really a surprise to see these versions get the ax.
