CD Projekt Red announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live that a remastered version of The Witcher 3, bundled with both existing expansions, launches September 29 as a free upgrade for current owners. Switch owners will also get a complimentary upgrade path to the Switch 2 version. The remaster brings visual improvements plus reworked skill trees, combat, camera, targeting, movement and mount handling.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Offering the remaster free to existing owners keeps goodwill high while CDPR extends the life of one of its most beloved titles ahead of a long wait for the next mainline Witcher game. Pairing this with news of a third DLC expansion, Songs of the Past, suggests the studio is leaning on nostalgia and continued support to bridge the gap until a new sequel arrives, expected no earlier than 2028.
- The Witcher 3 remaster launches September 29 as a free upgrade for current owners.
- Switch owners get a free path to the Switch 2 version.
- A new DLC, Songs of the Past, is coming in 2026 alongside combat and movement overhauls.
