You’re sitting in the darkened corner of a small tavern, taking shelter from the harsh weather outside. Around you there is the hubbub of the local inhabitants, you don’t pick up most of what is being said–common tongue–but you do catch the word Gwent.
Now, through choices you made during previous adventures, you happen to have two decks of Gwent cards already. With two more decks due to arrive at this very tavern, this very night. You got them through a redemption system at the local city—or website—so you are prepared to enter any tournament, with an advantage. Some would say that this is an unfair advantage, and that two wrongs don’t make a right. However, you’re still the one with the two extra decks.
There are those from the Xbox nation who managed to secure the exclusive two decks that came with Witcher 3’s Xbox One Collector’s Edition. There’s even more good news for them because two new decks are now available separately. If you own Witcher 3’s expansion pass, you can head over to the Redeem Gwent website and get the two new ones. That leaves you with four Gwent decks along with some amazing additional items.
However, it’s not good news for non-Xbox gamers. The PC and PS4 nations were left high and dry unless they went to the black market. PC and PS4 players can only purchase the two new decks, Monsters, and Scoia’tael, but don’t have the chance to get the Xbox-exclusive ones.
Looks like Xbox One owners will be the only ones with complete collections.
Simply go over to Redeem Gwent and follows the instructions. You should be able to get the cards after you receive your confirmation within 72 hours.
