New update for GWENT: The Witcher Card Game is now available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One! With update 2.2, we’ve focused on reworking the tutorial and starter decks to improve the first-time user experience. We’ve also set a minimum number of units to be included in every deck to 13, and added brand new Tavern Board to the game!
Full list of changes:
- Opponent AI in Training Mode has been improved.
- Matches are now played on one unified game board rather than two distinct halves from different game boards.
- Valid decks must now contain a minimum of 13 units.
- Changes in Deck Builder UI.
- Updated Shupe's VFX when opening goodies.

- Starter decks have been reworked to showcase more faction cards and faction-specific mechanics.
