The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered brings overhauled visuals, enhanced combat, and all expansions to modern platforms on September 29, 2026, as a free upgrade for existing owners.

CD Projekt Red is bringing a definitive version of The Witcher 3 to current and next gen hardware.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered launches on September 29, 2026, landing on GOG, Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and even the successor to the Nintendo Switch. Whether you are replaying on your PC rig, streaming via cloud, or taking the Path on a portable platform, this massive visual and mechanical overhaul sets a new standard for modern game upgrades.
