Your original The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt save files and unlocked achievements will carry over, so you won’t have to start over unless you want to. There is one catch: your skill points<\/strong> will be reset, because CD Projekt Red has overhauled the skill tree.<\/p>\n\n

And this isn’t being framed as a graphics update with a fresh coat of paint. CD Projekt Red says the remaster also reworks combat and movement<\/strong>, redesigns the skill system, and adds cross-platform mod support. If you already own the game on PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S, you’ll get the remaster for free, with Hearts of Stone<\/a> and Blood and Wine<\/a> included at no extra cost.<\/p>\n\n

If you’ve already put hundreds of hours into Geralt, this looks like an easy one to grab, even if those carried-over achievements mean you probably shouldn’t expect a separate list to unlock.<\/p>\n\n

CD Projekt Red says The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Battle.net<\/a>. If you want to move your progress between versions or platforms, you’ll need a GOG account<\/a><\/strong> to use CD Projekt Red’s existing cross-progression system.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
