CD Projekt Red has released The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered for Nintendo Switch, offering upgraded visuals, performance and gameplay improvements alongside the game’s two major expansions.

The Witcher 3 is the developer’s flagship open-world RPG originally released in May 2015; its Complete Edition later reached Nintendo Switch in October 2019.

The Remastered release packages the base game with Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine and is positioned as a modernized way to experience Geralt’s story on Nintendo’s handheld-console hybrid.

In a summary of the Remastered edition, CD Projekt Red framed the update as a modernization of the generation-defining RPG.

The studio said the release enhances visuals and performance, refines combat and the skill system, and incorporates both critically acclaimed expansions.

Hearts of Stone originally launched in October 2015 and Blood and Wine followed in May 2016, and both expansions are included with the Remastered edition to expand the main narrative.

The Remastered version is described by the developer as aiming to preserve the core open-world experience: players explore the Northern Kingdoms, follow Geralt of Rivia’s hunt for his adopted daughter Ciri, and use a wide array of swords, potions, bombs and combat signs to face monsters and human adversaries.

CD Projekt Red positions the Remastered release as the definitive way to play the title, with specific improvements to visual fidelity and user-facing gameplay systems.

For Nintendo Switch owners, CD Projekt Red has stated that the Remastered release is available as a free upgrade for those who own the original Switch version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

The title is available through Nintendo’s digital storefront on the Nintendo eShop; users looking for more information or to download the update should search the eShop or consult official CD Projekt Red channels.

The Witcher 3 remains one of the most influential RPGs of the past decade, and the Remastered release on Nintendo Switch brings the full package—including Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine—directly to players who prefer Nintendo’s platform.
