“The over 11-year-old game is once again being played by more than 100,000 people with the release of the remastered edition, which is free for anyone who owns the original!”

Today saw the launch of the remastered edition of The Witcher 3, placing this RPG firmly back in the spotlight of the gaming world. This is confirmed by record figures reaching 120,000 active players on Steam, an all-time high since the game's release. The last time CD Projekt Red's RPG surpassed 100,000 active players was back during COVID, in late 2020, when the first season of the Netflix series premiered.

Naturally, contributing to this milestone is the fact that the edition itself is free for anyone who owns the original game—amounting to no fewer than 60 million people. For those who do not own it, the game's price has unfortunately increased from €30 to €50, though that price does include all expansions released to date. Until October 1st, it is possible to grab the enhanced version for €25, or half price, if you don't already have it.

"These changes affect every aspect of the game, with particular attention to exploration and combat mechanics. We've significantly improved a wide range of gameplay elements. Some features, such as the skill tree, have even been entirely rebuilt to ensure the best possible experience for both new and returning players. Whether this is your first time visiting the Continent or a long-awaited return to the Path, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered was created with you in mind."

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered has launched on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
