If you want to capitalise on CD Projekt’s generosity with The Witcher 3: Remastered, there are some very cheap deals around this weekend.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered is set to close out a packed September, following the likes of Control Resonant, Silent Hill: Townfall, and Marvel’s Wolverine. 

The remaster, which boasts improved combat and graphics, launches on Tuesday, September 29 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.

Better yet, if you have already bought the game – physically or digitally – across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, or PC, you can get an upgrade to the remaster completely free. 

Developer CD Projekt is giving everyone access to both expansions, Hearts Of Stone and Blood And Wine, for free as well. It’s a surprisingly generous move, which they’re no doubt hoping will pay off when the next expansion, Songs Of The Past, launches in 2027. 

If you haven’t yet bought The Witcher 3 and fancy jumping in with the remaster, your best bet is to pick up a cheap copy now, so you’re entitled to the free upgrade. For PlayStation 5 owners, the main game is 50% off on the PlayStation Store right now at £17.49. 

Alternatively, you can pick up a physical copy on the cheap, whether on PlayStation 4 or 5. You can grab physical versions at Argos or Amazon for around £15. 

The same applies to other platforms too. However, those looking to pick it up on Switch 2, via a free upgrade from the original Switch version, will be the most out of pocket, as even physical copies are still around £40. You can find a breakdown of the best deals below.
