The Witcher 3 launched earlier this week, after many different delays, quite a few controversies, and loads of heated debates. Those on PS4 or Xbox One will have to wait a bit more until they can get it. We consider it an upgrade of the currently existing game.The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has just received its third major patch in the form of update 1.03 for the PC platform, and owners of the GOG and Steam versions can already begin downloading it. “If you have your game on PC, you’ll just download an update – and the game will continue to cost what it currently does on the PC market. “There will be a patch adding visual quality and a few extra features and of course we’re not going to charge people for a patch – it’s something they’re going to download and it will upgrade their game upgrade their experience – but we’re not going to ask them for extra money,” he said. Speaking about the “next-gen” PC version in September 2020, CD Projekt’s VP of business development Michał Nowakowski told investors it would include improved visual quality and additional features. The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S port is being developed externally by Saber Interactive, the studio behind The Witcher 3’s Nintendo Switch port, which was acquired by THQ Nordic parent Embracer earlier this year. The next-gen edition of The Witcher 3 will be released as a standalone purchase for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, and as a free update for players who already own the game on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

The news was announced on Tuesday as part of a wider company strategy update.

CD Projekt has confirmed that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s next-gen update will be released in the second half of 2021.
