The news was revealed during the company’s latest earnings call on Wednesday, September 7. A leak from a supposed GAME employee suggests the upgrade will arrive on Friday, December 9. The date in question reportedly appeared in an updated listing for the UK retailer’s database. As of writing, though, CD Projekt Red has yet to corroborate.

The developer has also been working with community modder, Halk Hogan, to include the popular The Witcher 3 HD Reworked mod in the release – suggesting improved textures are likely. Originally teased in September of 2020 by one of the developers, the enhanced version of The Witcher 3 will feature all the trappings of current-gen systems when it comes to 60fps and 4K resolution.

Along with the free upgrade coming for Witcher 3 players, CDPR has also announced that a brand new set of DLC inspired by Netflix’s Witcher series will also be made available to players at no cost. On top of that, this brand-new content won’t be exclusive to the next-gen version of the game either. “The DLCs are not exclusive to the next-gen version, they’ll be available for every version of the game (including PS4, Xbox One, and Switch),” CDPR said. As of now, we don’t know much regarding what exactly the DLC will entail, but it’s new Witcher content, which is always something that gets a warm welcome.
