CD Projekt Red announces that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered will release for Nintendo Switch 2 on 29 September 2026. Multiple outlets report it is positioned as a free upgrade for existing owners of Witcher 3, though details on how this applies to different ownership types—especially physical copies—are not fully clarified.
The remaster is described as including updated visuals and improvements to traversal, along with other enhancements to the core game experience. Nintendo Life and My Nintendo News also both reference a related “Songs of the Past” update or downloadable content tied to the remaster announcement. While the exact content list beyond these broad improvements is not fully detailed across the reports, both outlets present it as part of the same Switch 2 release plan.
The key area of uncertainty in the coverage is the mechanics of the free upgrade for owners who may not own Switch 2 versions, particularly for those with physical media. Both outlets anticipate a straightforward upgrade path for digital purchases but highlight that confirmation is needed for physical copies.
