Game overview
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered launches September 29, 2026 as a free upgrade for current owners on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2. CD PROJEKT RED, working with Yigsoft, is rebuilding combat, the skill tree, traversal, Sign effects, Roach handling, and monster behavior on top of a rendering pass that includes path tracing on PC. Start with Getting Started if you are new, or How to Upgrade if you already own the 2015 game. What's New lists the visual and gameplay work. Check System Requirements before you download, then pick a plan on the Builds Hub so ability points match the revamped trees. Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine were granted at no extra cost on August 25, 2026. The next story chapter is Songs of the Past in 2027. The campaign remains single-player: you play Geralt, with Ciri in specific main-quest sequences.
