The Witcher 3 has more Steam players now than it did on launch

An impressive feat for a four-year-old game

Bottom line: The Witcher franchise was never an unpopular one, particularly in the months following the launch of The Witcher 3. However, Netflix's highly-anticipated adaptation of the fantasy universe, aptly titled "The Witcher," has led to a massive popularity surge for the franchise -- and it's not hard to see why.

At the end of the day, video games simply don't appeal to everyone. The Witcher 3 sold like hotcakes, but not every casual consumer wants to sit in front of a PC monitor or TV screen and hack at monsters for upwards of 80 hours, no matter how entertaining the experience might be for many.

A TV show, though? That's another story. Just about anybody (even non-tech-savvy folks) can get behind a good show or movie. Netflix's massive userbase, deep marketing pockets, and (of course) the quality of its latest show have helped The Witcher become almost a household name over the past week or so.

Though it's a very different beast than Game of Thrones, The Witcher is clearly hitting the mainstream and filling the dark fantasy void left behind for many after the former's eight-season run came to an end earlier this year.

While TV show viewers and gamers do not always have the same tastes, there is clearly more than a little overlap. Just as the Witcher games boosted the sales of franchise creator Andrzej Sapkowski's original book series, The Witcher 3 has seen renewed success following the success of its show counterpart.

As we wrote a few days ago, The Witcher 3's Steam player numbers hit an astounding 50,354 this month -- the first time it's managed to surpass the 50K mark since the game
