The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered Has Launched Out There To Enjoy

Witcher

A new version of The Witcher 3 is now out there, as we have The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered in the world

The remaster that was so much of a surprise to so many, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered, has officially launched out there into the world for us all to play. Well, play again, as this is one of the biggest success stories that CD Projekt RED has had in a good time. I say that, as I'm not sure how many gamers out there have not already played the game before now. But, I guess, there's always the new wave of gamers we have each day to bring into the fold and get us ready for The Witcher IV, which is still on the way. That has to be one of the bigger reasons to give us the remaster so soon. Along with making sure it is running natively on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2 in the current state of the world. I'll go with that option to make sure that we are not just looking at all of this as a quick little cash-in for the massive title. I mean, we're also getting a lot more in the mix than just a new version of the game. So, there's that.

In addition to giving us all another way to play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, this new remaster is offering up the full run of the game and all of the updates that have come since it first launched. So, both of the DLCs, the Path Tracing and other performance updates, and all of the reimagined systems that were needed to get the game to a solid and finished state. Not that it wasn't already polished up well when it first launched, but the hardware has changed over the years, and the game needed to catch up as much as it could. That all said, there's a nice little bonus for all out there who already owned The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt before now, as this will also be a free update for everyone who already owned the original version of the game before this new launch. That feels like a rare thing in today's world, so I'll gladly take that and run with it as soon as I can get it all downloaded. If you needed yet another reason to pick this version of the game up, well, here's a new video to look at that shows off all of the enhancements that we'll be able to play around with as of today.
