CD Projekt Red has increased the base price of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition to $49.99 on Steam. The timing is notable given that a free upgrade is scheduled for September, which will deliver new content to existing players. The price hike covers the full package including the base game and both expansions, marking a shift from its previous pricing strategy.
The move follows a pattern of publishers adjusting prices around major updates, though it reflects broader industry trends rather than any singular decision unique to CD Projekt Red. Players looking to avoid the higher price point may want to check alternative retailers or wait for sales, as Steam's recommended price doesn't necessarily dictate what third-party storefronts charge.
- The Complete Edition now costs $49.99 on Steam, up from its previous price point, just ahead of September's free upgrade wave.
- The package bundles the base game with both expansions as a single offering.
- Price shopping on third-party retailers may offer cheaper entry points for interested players.
