PSA: The Witcher 3 Remastered File Size And Release Time Confirmed, Separate Purchase Required

The Witcher III: Wild Hunt - Remastered is right around the corner, launching on Switch 2 on 29th September 2026 (yes, that's tomorrow at the time of writing).

Many of you already own the original Switch release, so the good news is that this new version is completely free for you. However, unlike PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, which automatically upgrade the original game to the Remastered version, you'll have to download a completely separate product on Switch 2.

This probably won't come as a huge surprise – it's generally the norm for Switch these days – but if you do happen to have the original game downloaded on your Switch 2 and you're sat twiddling your thumbs waiting for it to update, hold your horses.
