Here's When You Can Play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered in Your Region
The free upgrade adds reworked combat, a revamped skill tree and expanded photo mode for existing owners.
On September 29, 2026, CD Projekt Red released The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2, offering existing owners a free upgrade.
CD Projekt Red developed this remaster to modernize its 2015 RPG, implementing native DirectX 12 rendering with multithreading and rebuilding the skill system to improve player experience.
The update introduces "enhanced combat" and new finishers, alongside expanded photo mode and the "Bard's Ballad" accessibility preset designed for players with cognitive limitations like attention deficits.
An official launch map coordinated the simultaneous global release, scheduling the game to unlock at 3:00 AM PDT in North America and 8:00 PM AEST in Australia.
Preceding the 2027 arrival of the "Songs of the Past" expansion, the remaster serves as a bridge for the franchise, which will tee up events for The Witcher 4 in 2028.
