CD Projekt Red revealed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered, a free upgrade for current owners launching September 29 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2, with overhauled graphics, combat, traversal, and mod support. The studio also confirmed existing owners will get the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions for free, and teased a new paid expansion called Songs of the Past due in 2027.
CD Projekt Red announced a remastered version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, arriving September 29th with upgraded visuals, revamped combat, a reworked skill tree, and both expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, included. The upgrade will be free for existing owners on GOG, Steam, Epic Games Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, and the remaster will also bring the game to Nintendo Switch 2 for the first time.
Nintendo announced two new Switch 2 bundles: a refreshed Mario Kart World package for $550 and a new Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle for $530, both including a 90-day individual Switch Online membership. These arrive as the Switch 2 console price rises to $500 starting September 1, up from $450.
GuliKit has released an updated travel dock for the Switch 2 that doubles as a stand, filling the gap left after Nintendo's software changes broke compatibility with Genki's Covert Dock. The plastic dock mimics an aluminum finish, weighs little, and includes a magnetic cover to protect its USB-C port, all at less than half the price of Genki's alternative.
Nintendo filed seven coordinated DMCA takedown notices against GitHub repositories hosting Switch emulation projects, resulting in 401 repos being pulled from the platform. The bulk came from the Suyu emulator's parent repo, which had over 100 forks, triggering GitHub's policy of removing an entire fork network at once. Other affected projects included the long-dormant Skyline emulator, Yuzu Android forks, and several smaller Yuzu-based projects like MonoNX.
Nintendo submitted seven DMCA complaints in a single day that led GitHub to remove more than 400 repositories tied to Switch emulation, including the Suyu project's entire 311-repo network and forks of the defunct Yuzu and Skyline emulators. Nintendo justified the takedowns by citing prior legal wins, including its case against Yuzu developer Tropic Haze and a lawsuit against a streamer who broadcast pirated games.
