CD PROJEKT Red has added Xbox Play Anywhere support to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered ahead of its September 29, 2026 release. If you buy the digital Xbox version, you can use that same copy on a Windows PC too, with no extra charge.
Your saves and achievements will carry across Xbox and PC. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered is launching on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, and it’s also the first Witcher game to get a day-one release on a Nintendo platform. Existing owners on supported platforms will get it as a free upgrade
CD PROJEKT Red says this is more than the 2022 next-gen patch. The remaster brings a rebuilt skill tree, better combat animations and finishers, reworked movement, and a wider batch of visual upgrades, including global illumination and path tracing on PC. Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are part of the package too.
If you’re coming back to Geralt’s adventure, this one looks worth grabbing. The original had already sold more than 65 million copies by May 2026 Analysts think the remaster could push lifetime sales into the 70 to 75 million range, and CD PROJEKT Red already has the paid Songs of the Past expansion lined up for 2027, with a new mainline Witcher still targeting 2028
You’ll be able to download The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered on release day for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Reports put the update at about 45GB on most platforms, and around 50GB on Nintendo Switch 2.
