CD Projekt Red previously detailed plans to release sixteen free expansions for The Witcher 3. The first two, The Temerian Armor Set (for your horse) and the Beard and Hairstyle Set (for Geralt), were released when the game launched on May 19.

The second batch , the Missing Miners contract and the alternative look for Yennifer, was released May 26.

The remaining ten will be released on a weekly basis throughout June and July.

CD Projekt Red co-CEO Marcin Iwinski previously explained why the studio is giving away content for free. He said that free content is a means of saying thank you to fans.

"As gamers, we nowadays have to hold on tight to our wallets, as surprisingly right after release, lots of tiny pieces of tempting content materialize with a steep price tag attached. Haven't we just paid a lot of cash for a brand new game?" he said. "At CD Projekt Red, we strongly believe this is not the way it should work and, with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we have decided to do it differently. This is our way of saying thank you for buying our game."

Looking further ahead, CD Projekt Red plans to release multiple paid expansions for The Witcher 3. The first of these, Hearts of Stone, will launch in October.
