The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered Update Arrives September 29 as a Free Upgrade
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered free upgrade arrives September 29, 2026, bringing a substantial visual and technical overhaul to CD Projekt Red 2015 open-world classic at no extra cost to existing owners.
What is New in the Remaster
The remaster adds path tracing support for a full lighting overhaul, along with a broader combat rework aimed at smoothing out some of the original animations and hit feedback that have aged the least gracefully. Coverage ahead of launch has described it as easily among the most notable updates an aging RPG has received, given the scale of the visual jump on modern hardware.
Who Gets It Free
Anyone who already owns The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, including the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions, receives the remaster automatically as a free update on September 29, no repurchase required. New buyers picking up the game from that date onward get the remastered version by default.
Where to Buy or Upgrade
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. A Steam Wallet Code (US) or Steam Wallet Code (EU) covers the PC version and its expansions through Steam, and a PlayStation Network gift card works for the PS5 release. Full details are on the official Witcher 3 Steam page.
