Massively Upgraded The Witcher 3 Remaster Comes to PS5 in September, Free for Existing Players
CD Projekt Red announced a major remaster of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at Gamescom 2026, coming to PlayStation 5 in September. Unlike the previous native PS5 version, this remaster features comprehensive enhancements across multiple gameplay systems including overhauled graphics, redesigned combat mechanics, improved enemy behavior, enhanced character movement, updated traversal systems, and revamped progression.
Notably, the remaster will be provided free to existing owners of The Witcher 3, delivering substantial value to the game’s established player base. The announcement generated significant industry attention, with the remaster earning particular recognition for substantially upgrading an 11-year-old title.
This move demonstrates CD Projekt Red’s continued commitment to The Witcher 3, suggesting the company views the game as having significant remaining commercial and creative potential despite its age.
