Controls for PC, PS4 & Xbox One

In an interactive medium such as video games, being in complete control of whatever is happening on the screen is of vital importance. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is no exception; the myriad enemies in the game will not forgive you if you press the wrong button and cast a spell instead of blocking. It is advisable that you get to know the game’s controls before venturing further into the Northern Realms.
