September 29, 2026 is the release date for The Witcher 3 Remastered, and CD Projekt Red has already shared what kind of PC you’ll need to run it. For minimum specs, that means an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 12GB of RAM, and either an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 6GB, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB, or Intel Arc A580. Recommended bumps that up to an Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, 16GB of RAM, and an RTX 2060 SUPER, RX 6600 XT, or Arc B580. You’ll also need a 70GB SSD, Windows 11 64-bit, and DirectX 12. The increase from the original 50GB HDD install comes with path tracing, better global lighting, reworked textures, new foliage shaders, and support for Nvidia DLSS 4.5, AMD FSR 4.0, and Intel XeSS 2.0, along with smoother controls, revamped animations, and improvements to the UI and looting.
If you already own The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition, the free upgrade to The Witcher 3 Remastered seems like an easy yes. New buyers, though, will pay $49.99 instead of $39.99. And if your PC can’t quite handle the remaster, you can still switch back to the classic version. Early reaction has been pretty positive so far, with most players saying the specs are demanding but fair for a 2026 release.
You’ll get The Witcher 3 Remastered as a free upgrade if you own The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition on PC.
