MOVIE NEWS – Liam Hemsworth loves CD Projekt’s Witcher RPGs, yet he warns they devour your hours. Netflix’s fresh Geralt games on an Xbox, not on a liquid-cooled battlestation like his predecessor.

Season four of The Witcher hit Netflix last Thursday with Liam Hemsworth fronting the monster slaying. The recast set social feeds buzzing and, while he holds his own, Henry Cavill’s shadow still stretches long — the guy wore his book-nerd and PC-gamer stripes openly. So is the Aussie a pad warrior too?

Months back, he called The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt one of the greatest games ever made, adding he’d been running it on Xbox to dial in his take on the Butcher of Blaviken. In a new U.S. TV spot, he leaned into that point with a wink and some blunt honesty.

“I’m a fan. I actually played it like eight years ago. It’s fantastic — but I only recommend it if you’ve got no partner, no job, no life,” he laughed when asked about his ties to Sapkowski’s world. “It eats time. I loved it. Then they asked if I wanted in for the last two seasons.” He said yes, and castmates say he slid into the Netflix machine smoothly.

When he’s not surfing, he’s on Xbox

Hemsworth has said he games on Xbox when he isn’t chasing waves, but beyond Wild Hunt, he hasn’t listed many favorites. Pity more interviewers didn’t press him there — it would’ve made for cleaner contrasts with Henry Cavill’s loudly documented World of Warcraft and Warhammer 40K obsessions.

Side notes aside, season four is fighting a headwind: audience chatter has turned sour, and early reports peg its Netflix debut at around a 50 percent drop in viewership. Even so, season five looks safe unless disaster strikes, and Hemsworth — different flavor or not — is doing solid work as Geralt of Rivia. If this brand of fantasy is your thing, it’s worth a look.
