CD Projekt will be discontinuing support for its free-to-play Witcher-themed card game Gwent on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, beginning next Monday, 9th December.
In a statement posted to the official Gwent website, the developer explained that, following the game’s release on iOS (with Android still to come), it does not believe it “can support a growing number of different versions of Gwent while improving feature parity between them.”
As such, it has made the “tough” decision to end support for the game on consoles, meaning that, as of 9th December 2019, Xbox One and PS4 will no longer receive regular updates, additional content or expansions, and that all real-money purchases will be disabled. Additionally, console versions will cease matchmaking with other platforms from next week.

However, CD Projekt be offering console players the option to transfer their Gwent progress over to the PC and mobile versions of the game, should they so choose.
This will require a GOG account that doesn’t already have Gwent progress attached, and the facility will be available from 9th December 2019 until 9th June next year. The latter date marks the point when the console games will no longer be operational.
