The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered launches on September 29 as a free update with upgraded visuals, cross-platform mods, and a brand new expansion called Songs of the Past.
CD Projekt Red surprised Gamescom Opening Night Live attendees with a trailer confirming that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered will launch on September 29. More than eleven years after the original release, this new version arrives as a completely free update for existing owners across multiple platforms, including PC, console, and the newly revealed Nintendo Switch 2. The package bundles the base game alongside the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions, while introducing modern graphical upgrades like Nvidia DLSS 4.5 and AMD FSR 4 support.
Beyond visual overhauls, the remaster brings practical mechanical updates requested by the community for years. Players can expect improved menu navigation, a thoroughly revamped skill tree, and adjusted monster behaviors that make combat encounters in the Northern Realms much sharper. The integration of cross-platform mod support and inclusion in the Xbox Play Anywhere program point to a strong focus on player convenience and long-term community engagement across modern gaming ecosystems.
CD Projekt Red also revealed a surprise third expansion titled Songs of the Past, which takes Geralt to a new region called Letten and serves as his final hunt before Ciri takes over as the protagonist in The Witcher 4. To round out the announcements, the studio confirmed a crossover event bringing Witcher content into Blizzard's Diablo 4, with full details dropping at BlizzCon in September. As reported by Game Rant, this massive wave of content proves that the studio is still heavily invested in keeping its classic open world relevant for today's players.
