CD Projekt Red has raised the price of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt without announcement, timing the increase to coincide with the upcoming remaster's launch scheduled for late September. The price adjustment appears designed to capitalize on renewed interest as the studio prepares to release its enhanced version of the open-world RPG.
The move reflects a common industry strategy of repricing legacy titles before major updates or remasters arrive. Players looking to grab the original before the new version drops may now face higher costs, though CD Projekt Red has not publicly detailed the reasoning behind the increase.
- The base game's price went up without prior notice from CD Projekt Red, positioning the increase around the remaster's imminent release.
- The timing suggests the publisher is leveraging renewed attention to the franchise to adjust its pricing structure.
