The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Next-Gen Update Arrives Next Month

CD Projekt Red has announced that The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt next-gen update will launch for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on 14 December 2022. It will be available as a free upgrade to existing owners of the game on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Enhanced with the power of next-gen consoles and modern PC hardware in mind, the upcoming release of CD Projekt RED’s award-winning role-playing game will feature dozens of visual, performance, and technical enhancements over the original. These include ray tracing support, faster loading times on consoles, as well as a variety of mods integrated into the experience, among many others.

Along with new additional content inspired by The Witcher series from Netflix, these will be covered next week in a dedicated REDstreams event on Twitch, where the studio will present gameplay from the next-gen version of the game.

The next-gen version of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Complete Edition will be available for purchase digitally on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, featuring all free downloadable content released to date, and both major expansions: “Hearts of Stone” and “Blood and Wine.” A physical edition will be released following the initial digital rollout, with a specific date to be announced at a later time.

In addition to the next-gen release, the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch versions of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt will also receive an update featuring numerous additions and improvements, as well as the Netflix Witcher-themed additional content. Further details, including the release date, will be announced soon.
