CD Projekt Red has published specific technical targets for The Witcher 3 Remastered on Nintendo's next-generation Switch hardware, confirming how the game will run in handheld and docked configurations.
The Witcher 3, originally released on May 19, 2015, is one of CD Projekt Red's flagship titles and has a long platform history that includes PC, PlayStation, Xbox and a Nintendo Switch port released in October 2019 by Saber Interactive.
Technical targets and what they mean
CD Projekt Red has stated that, on the Nintendo Switch 2, the remastered edition will run at 720p while in handheld mode and aim for between 30 and 40 frames per second.
In docked mode the developer is targeting 1080p at 30fps, with the possibility of reaching 40fps when connected to modern 120Hz television sets.
In journalistic terms: CD Projekt Red says handheld play will target 720p with a variable frame rate of roughly 30–40fps, while docked play will target 1080p at 30fps and may scale up to 40fps on compatible 120Hz displays.
Context and developer background
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt won multiple Game of the Year awards following its 2015 launch and has been maintained across generations through updates and re-releases.
CD Projekt Red, the developer and publisher behind the franchise, is also known for platform services such as GOG and for larger releases including Cyberpunk 2077.
The original Nintendo Switch port, handled by Saber Interactive and released in October 2019, brought the open-world RPG to Nintendo's hybrid console, and the remastered edition represents the franchise's next technical step on Nintendo hardware.
What players should know
These resolution and framerate figures are the developer's targets for The Witcher 3 Remastered on Nintendo's successor hardware; they set expectations for visual fidelity and performance across handheld and docked play.
Players who follow Nintendo Direct announcements or check the Nintendo eShop for official release and availability updates will find confirmed launch details and pricing once CD Projekt Red and Nintendo publish them.
CD Projekt Red's clarification gives a clearer picture of how the remaster will leverage hybrid hardware, balancing portable performance with higher-resolution docked play and taking advantage of higher-refresh-rate televisions where available.
