The sound comes from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, released in 2015, where it accompanies quest completion in the game UI. Because the cue is short, recognizable, and instantly readable as a success signal, it spread beyond the game into memes, edits, and streamer clips. It is often used similarly to GTA SA Mission Passed, but with a more fantasy RPG tone. Its staying power comes from how clearly it marks completion without needing any spoken words.
