Many of you may know The Witcher 3 max level now that it has been out for almost a decade. There is a lot to do in this game, and most activities you undertake will give you XP points. Accumulate enough, and you will level up, resulting in Skill Points. These Skill Points can be used however you see fit; you can invest your points in one of four trees, depending on your play style.

However, there has to be a limit that you can reach since no game is fun if you can just grind and become invincible. The max level in The Witcher 3 is level 70 (for the base game). However, if you start the Blood and Wine expansion, which is massive, you can go up to level 100.

If you're new to the game, these numbers can be a bit dizzying. So, let's look at some ways to level up fast.

The Witcher 3 is a massive role-playing game. Even if you complete all side quests and objectives during your playthrough, you will struggle to get to level 55. This is usually more than enough, and you can try any build you want at this level. To go beyond, you have to start New Game+.
