In this case, the totally free upgrade to the next-gen variation also looks quite generous. Its not clear if there any other conditions for getting the upgrade beyond just owning a current copy of The Witcher 3.
The appeal of this news is testimony to The Witcher 3s enduring greatness. This is a video game that came out 5 years ago but remains exceptionally well-regarded and an enticing title for many to get and play through all over again. It still routinely appears in the top Steam charts on PC, too.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting a visual upgrade for next-generation hardware, and current owners of the video game on PC, Playstation, and Xbox will get the update free of charge.
Its not clear when the upgrade will be readily available.
Developers CD Projekt Red announced the news today, saying the upgraded game will be offered on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, including a “series of technical and visual improvements.” These consist of much faster filling times and ray tracing graphics. The upgrades will apply to the base game, states Projekt Red, along with to both of its growths (Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine) and all other “additional content.”
