The Witcher 3 Price Jumps Quietly Ahead of Next Month's Remaster
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
The price of The Witcher 3 Complete Edition on Steam has increased by ten dollars following the surprise announcement of an upcoming remaster.
CD Projekt Red surprised the gaming community this week by announcing a brand new remaster for The Witcher 3. The upcoming release brings major visual enhancements and combat overhauls, and the best part is that it will be entirely free for everyone who already owns the base game, complete with DLC inclusions. However, players who do not yet own the title are now looking at a higher entry cost.
According to IGN South Africa, the price of The Witcher 3 Complete Edition on Steam has increased from $39.99 to $49.99 following the remaster announcement. This adjustment effectively aligns the base purchase price with the upcoming version, meaning new buyers are paying upfront for the upgraded experience they will receive automatically. While a ten-dollar bump on an eleven-year-old game might sting for fence-sitters, the sheer volume of content makes it hard to argue against the value.
Even with the price increase, CD Projekt Red has a strong history of running aggressive digital storefront discounts, meaning patient players will likely find plenty of opportunities to jump in cheaper. With a brand new expansion slated for next year and the long-term horizon pointing toward The Witcher 4, the franchise remains a massive anchor in modern RPG culture.
