Some character's age was directly mentioned in the books, others' one was counted using some references.
TW3 events take place in 1272. So we have:
Geralt - around 57.
Ciri - ~20.
Yennefer - 99.
Triss - ~37.
Dandelion - ~43.
Emhyr - ~51.
Dijkstra - ~52.

Yep, in the game. Still, his age in the book was counted with Nenneke's words (she's known him since his childhood) and her own description. As his age wasn't directly mentioned in the book, devs probably didn't focus on some indirect mentions.
Yup but I found this on reddit:
"He's been trained in Kaer Morhen before it's been attacked, and we know from the books it was attacked about 50 years before Triss was born. I think it's safe to say she's around 30 years old, so Geralt had to finish his training no later than 80 years before events in the books. So it's a safe bet to say he's around 100 at the beginning of Witcher 1"
Wasn't it? Whatever, it's been a while since I read those books...but one thing is for sure, A.Sapkowski was never really consistent in such things
So while Geralt's age in the books might be questionable, in the games he's around 100.So he had a leap in his age?
Ask CDPR that
Vesemir says so (and how could you doubt papa Vesemir?), it was also mentioned in the game informer I've seen

Yep, and Nenneke isn't a mage, so she certainly can't be older than 90 (considering she is still agile).
1252, isn't it?
She is almost 13 in BoE which takes place in early 1265 => born 1252.

The source from which I use shows that it was in 1253 (and this source is rather flawless). I don't remember exactly at what point Ciri said that she has nearly 13 years, but she was in Kaer Morhen from autumn 1264 to early spring 1266, so 1253 also fits in here.
She says it to Geralt on their way to Nenneke from Kaer Morhen. And it's early 1265, not 1266. Yennefer taught her for almost 2 years and she brings her to Thanedd in 1267. This whole chronology converges to Cintra peace treaty taking place in 1268.
According to what you are saying, is that Ciri at Kaer Morhen has spent less than half a year, which is not true, because she spent over a year there. In Ellander she spent one year, so Yennefer taught her by less than a year, not two years.
