The Witcher 3 Remastered will launch on 29 September, updating CD Projekt Red’s acclaimed RPG with modernised visuals and broader gameplay improvements. It matters because the update goes beyond graphics, promising changes to combat, skill trees, accessibility and ease of use, while remaining free for existing owners.

The remaster releases simultaneously on PC and consoles at 6 a.m. EDT, with no staggered platform schedule. Other additions include improved quest tracking, menus and mount handling, equipment transmogrification, cross-platform mod support, Xbox Play Anywhere, extra accessibility options and unspecified features for Switch 2.
