Nearly a decade has passed since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt first came out, yet it still holds a steady spot on openworld RPG lists. The swamps of Velen, the lights of Novigrad, the gusts of Skellige—these are scenes that pulled countless players into its world. But PC gaming has always been tied to one spot; step away from the desk and the adventure hits pause.

Sneaking in a quick session during a business trip, or lying comfortably in bed before sleep—this kind of gaming isn't limited to mobile titles. PC games can be played just as easily on the go. OSLink streams your PC games straight to your phone, handling even big AAA releases like The Witcher 3 without breaking a sweat, and it comes with a range of useful features you can pick and choose from. This guide covers software installation, device pairing, button customization, and network tweaks—so you can replicate the full PC experience on mobile.

1. About The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Developed by CD Projekt Red and released in 2015, The Witcher 3 is a Western Fantasy RPG. You step into the boots of Geralt of Rivia, a Witcher hunting for Ciri across the vast Northern Kingdoms while fending off the Wild Hunt. The game is famous for its branching narrative and choice-driven storytelling, with a mountain of Witcher contracts and side quests on top of the main plot. Combat blends swordplay, Signs, and alchemy, with distinct playstyles tied to different character builds. The expansions Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are practically standalone games in their own right. It's a must-play for anyone who loves open-world action and adventure.

2. Installing OSLink on PC and Phone

To run The Witcher 3 on your phone, you first need to own the game on your PC. Then install OSLink on both your computer and your mobile device—that's the bridge that makes it happen.

On your PC: Head to the OSLink official website, download the Windows client, install it, and log in with your account.

On your phone: Search for "OSLink" on Google Play or the App Store to grab the app; the official site also offers an APK file. Once installed, sign in with the same account you used on your PC. Logging into the same account on both ends completes the basic pairing.

3. Running The Witcher 3 on Mobile

After pairing the devices with the same account login, the OSLink interface on your phone will show your connected PC. Tap it to enter the remote desktop. Launch The Witcher 3 on your PC, and the game will appear on your phone screen in real time.

4. Benefits of Playing on Mobile

Graphics stay intact. OSLink keeps The Witcher 3 looking crisp—the game runs on your PC, and the phone just receives the video stream. Resolution, frame rate, and effects all stick to your PC settings. No downgrade because of phone hardware.

Zero storage hit on your phone. Don't let the game's size scare you—the base game plus expansions add up to over 50GB, but your phone doesn't download a single game file. Everything stays on your PC's hard drive; the phone only holds the OSLink app.

Screen sharing and cross-device sync. The same account works across phones, tablets, and other devices—you can switch control on the fly. Pick up your phone to continue a quest when you step away from the PC, then jump back to the computer later with no break in progress.

5. OSLink's Helper Features

OSLink isn't just a tool for remote PC gaming—it comes packed with handy shortcuts that can seriously boost your play experience. Give them a try!

Turn on 60 FPS Mode

Flip the "60 FPS PC Game" switch in the mobile toolbar. It keeps motion smooth and responsive, which is a big help for timing dodges, rolls, and Sign casts during combat in The Witcher 3.

Customize OnScreen Buttons

The Witcher 3 involves a lot of inputs—movement, camera, light attack, heavy attack, five Signs, item cycling, dodge, and roll. Jump into the button editor, where you can drag each key to reposition and resize it, and tweak transparency so they don't block the view. A good starting point: place attack and dodge buttons where your thumbs naturally rest, and line up Sign shortcuts on the right side of the screen. You can also bind frequent action sequences to a single tap—for example, combine "Quen + roll" into a one-key defense, or map a "heavy + light" combo to a single burst. That cuts down on multi-finger gymnastics and lets you pull off combos with one press.

External Device Support

OSLink works with Bluetooth controllers and mobile gamepads. Hook one up and you'll get a feel closer to the PC experience, which is great for longer sessions of main-story pushes or map exploration.

No need to wait for a so-called "mobile port"-your current PC plus OSLink is enough to keep the Witcher's journey going right on your phone.
