In addition to this, it’s been confirmed that the update will be 45GB on Xbox consoles, and it’s a very similar size for most other platforms as well. This was announced by CDPR’s social media director earlier today:
We also now know that there won’t be a preload for the update — it’ll just become available immediately at the times shown above — and in case you’re wondering, your unlocked Xbox achievements will carry over to the new version.
As previously mentioned, this is a free upgrade for anyone who owns The Witcher 3 Remastered for Xbox Series X|S digitally, and the physical edition might work as well, but we haven’t come across definitive confirmation of this yet. More great news is that The Witcher 3: Remastered will be an Xbox Play Anywhere title following its launch next week, meaning you’ll get access to a free PC version via the Xbox app at no extra charge.
If you’re interested in grabbing it digitally, The Witcher 3 for Xbox Series X|S is currently discounted by 50%, bringing it down to £19.99 / $24.99. We’ll leave you with more details about the remastered version down below.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered modernizes the generation-defining open-world role-playing game with a range of upgrades and enhancements to visuals, performance, gameplay, and more. Become monster slayer for hire Geralt of Rivia and journey across the war-torn Northern Kingdoms to find your adopted daughter, Ciri, before the spectral forces of the Wild Hunt take her incredible power for their own. Included in Remastered are two critically acclaimed expansions — Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine — to expand the legendary story even further.
