CD Projekt Red will launch The Witcher 3 Remastered on Sept. 29, 2024, as a free upgrade for all existing owners [1].
The move provides current players with updated content and free access to previous expansions while the studio develops the next mainline entry in the series.
The remastered version bundles the base game along with the two existing expansions, Blood & Wine, and Hearts of Stone [2]. This package is available as a global digital release across several platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC [3].
Nintendo Switch owners also receive the update. The free upgrade extends to those who own physical copies of the game on the platform [4].
Beyond the immediate remaster, the studio announced a third expansion titled Songs of the Past. This new content is slated for release in 2027 [5].
CD Projekt Red is using these releases to maintain player engagement during the development of The Witcher 4. The studio expects the next full title to launch in 2028 [6].
“The Witcher 3 Remastered will launch in September as a free upgrade for all existing owners.”
By offering the remaster and legacy expansions for free, CD Projekt Red is leveraging its existing install base to sustain brand momentum. This strategy fills a multi-year content gap between the 2024 remaster and the projected 2028 release of The Witcher 4, ensuring the franchise remains visible in a competitive market.
