Be the very first to play!

<span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</span> is now available to preload on GOG.com. If you have pre-ordered the anticipated, next-generation RPG, you can choose to pre-load the game and be one of the very first to play once it goes live on May 19th.

The simplest way to preload the game is through the just-released GOG Galaxy Beta. GOG Galaxy is fully integrated into the DRM-free release of <span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</span> and includes convenient auto-updates, game time tracking and achievements. Of course, you can also preload manually by downloading the available files off your shelf on the website.

The preload includes subtitles in every language and full English voiceovers. Once the game is live, you'll have the option to download an additional ~3GB language pack with voiceovers in your preferred language.

The complete original soundtrack is also available for download today alongside the preload, just in time to set the proper mood for the ruthless, dark-fantasy epic. If you preordered the game, you'll find the soundtrack in the bonus goodies section of your shelf. Don't forget, that this is one of the last opportunities to take advantage of the pre-order discounts - that includes the -20% loyalty deal for owners of the previous two The Witcher games on GOG.com!

While you wait, check out one of the sexiest previews of <span class="bold">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</span>, brought to you by the hilarity-infused Conan O'Brien:

Thanks for you amazing work :)
One questions, is possible put in pause the download? i unable to find this option on gog galaxy.
Sweet, will get this going when my internet ticks over to it's off peak times. Out of interest though, is there going to be a Mac or Linux version? I run Windows as well as Linux so I will be playing regardless but it would be nice to have it same as I had the Witcher 2 which is one of my favourite games.
I know you want to phase out the old downloader, but since you are still providing links for it, why is there no way to download seperate extras? I only see a link for "all goodies" and I just wanted to download the soundtrack in one version. Or am I overlooking something?

[edit] Nvm, I found out how to just sent the soundtrack to the downloader.

And apparently if you use Galaxy, you can keep enjoying the preloading experience.
Preloaded and ready for the final small file :-)

Just exit Galaxy and it will pick up your download once you run it.

No kidding, 0.1 MB/s max, going to take days at this pace.

I downloaded it with the download manager with 7MB/s. Then it was imported to Galaxy automatically.

I'm getting 3 MB/s, so full capacity of my internet. Must be something on your side.
Sweet!

I can't find the Soundtrack download
only the Exclusive ones :O
where do I find the FULL soundtrack
Also
Been waiting for this day for 2 and a half or so years :D
I've rushed to my account to preload and I must say: the new library is HORRIBLE. No manual sorting, obscured Downloader links - you are really trying to push out the dysfunctional mess Galaxy Client is, aren't you GOG? That, and also why is Witcher 3 preload available only in English? One would think that all regional variations will be up by now, especially Polish since it's the "right" language to play the game in... *sigh* I'm really starting to think that I did wrong by preordering here.
Do we have any information concerning the exact point of time the game will unlock?
