Join us for a new episode of TWiG!
Watch here:

Surprise, surprise! TWiG holiday special is here!
There was an issue with awarding Reward Points on Wednesday - they were added to your accounts the next day.
GWENT will be released on iOS at the end of this month, but you can be among the first players to experience the game on the go!
We’re planning to launch an iOS Closed Beta for GWENT very soon and we need your help to test the game and provide feedback to our dev team. In order to participate, you need to submit your email associated with your GOG account here. On this page, you’ll also find answers to some frequently asked questions about the iOS Closed Beta — so have a read if you’d like more information.
The total number of participants is limited, so signups will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Closed Beta should begin next week. Once you’re in, you’ll receive an invitation e-mail from TestFlight — a beta-testing service by Apple — with a link to download the TestFlight app to your iOS device. It will be used to access the Closed Beta version of GWENT.
Please note that while this version of the game is feature-complete, it’s still a work in progress. Therefore, we kindly ask you not to publicly share anything from iOS GWENT during the beta-test period. Using your feedback, we plan to polish the game and fix bugs as much as we can to bring the best possible version of GWENT on day one. We hope for your understanding and cooperation!
See you in iOS GWENT soon!
Hotfix 4.0.3 is now available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One!
List of changes

Starting from this week every Wednesday will be special: we’re launching new weekly in-game events called Gwentsdays. Every Wednesday, from midnight to midnight CEST (GMT+1) every player will be able to earn 25% more XP.
This XP boost is added on top of any other XP bonuses (for instance, from Faction Challenge). It applies to any game mode that will give XP normally.
Why XP is important? Earning XP allows you to level up your GWENT account. Once you’ve reached level 60, you get prestige 1, gain a permanent bonus and can level up again from 0 to 60. You can see which permanent bonuses can be unlocked with every new prestige.
Happy Gwentsday everybody! We hope your experience today will be great!
Yield and save me some time! A new season has begun! In this month’s seasonal mode you and your opponent will swap hands every 2 turns!
To prepare for iOS launch, which will happen on October 29th, Season of the Cat will last until Monday, October 28th, 10am CEST.

Hey everyone!
We know that you want to share progress and purchases on your GWENT account on multiple gaming platforms. We want to see this true cross-platform experience coming to GWENT, too! However, while we’re already fully supporting matchmaking between PC and other platforms, support of shared progress and purchases isn’t entirely within our control. We are very happy that it was possible to be achieved between iOS and PC out of the box, but other platforms are a more complicated matter due to the different policies that govern them.
We promise that we are not giving up on the subject of connecting all GWENT players together and enabling unified cross-progression and purchases. We will continue our ongoing conversations with platform-holders to enable GWENT players to easily switch platforms on the go without losing anything.
