The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Mac Version Released on Steam Exclusively

In somewhat unexpected news, and beating the CD Projekt Spring Conference stream, for which this announcement was probably planned, Valve has just tweeted about the release of a Mac edition of the original The Witcher on Steam.

The RPG of the Year is back – in a Premium Edition packed with powerful extras! Assume the role of The Witcher, Geralt, a legendary monster slayer caught in a web of intrigue as he battles forces vying for control of the world! Make difficult decisions and live with the consequences in a game that will immerse you in an extraordinary tale like no other!

Representing the pinnacle of storytelling in role-playing games, The Witcher shatters the line between good and evil in a world where moral ambiguity reigns. The Witcher emphasizes story and character development in a vibrant world while incorporating tactically-deep real-time combat like no game before it.

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition takes all of the acclaimed gameplay that garnered the original game more than 90 awards, and perfects it with a number of gameplay and technical improvements.

As of now, there’s no news on whether this release will end up on GOG and other digital and retail distributors too or if it will be limited to Valve’s service, but it’s certainly good news for those that play with an Apple machine.

Update:We have just learned from CD Projekt’s press conference that the Mac version of The Witcher will be available exclusively on Steam and that if you have already purchased the PC version of the title with your Steam account you’ll be able to download the Mac version on your Mac from that account without having to buy the port.
