CD Projekt Red is bringing a remastered version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to PC and consoles this September, available as a free upgrade for existing owners. The announcement came during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026. Details on specific improvements remain limited in initial coverage, though the studio framed the remaster alongside other upcoming Witcher content as part of its broader plans for the franchise.
