Witcher 3 Remastered: Release Times & File Size
CD Projekt Red's Witcher 3 Remastered update lands across PC, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2. Here's when you can start downloading it in your time zone.
Ready to dive back into the Continent with Geralt? If you've been waiting to see The Witcher 3 looking sharper than ever, the Remastered update is almost here — and the big question is exactly when you can hit that download button.
The Remastered update for The Witcher 3 is rolling out across PC, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2. Yes, you read that right — Switch 2 is in the mix too. So no matter which platform you're on, there's a version waiting for you.
Release times vary depending on where you live, so it's worth checking your own time zone before you clear your evening. The update isn't a tiny patch either — you'll want to make sure you've got enough free space before it goes live, because this one comes with a hefty file size.
If you're on PC, you'll be downloading through your usual storefront. PS5 and Xbox players can grab it straight from their console dashboards. And Switch 2 owners get to join the party as well, which is a nice surprise for Nintendo fans who've been following Geralt's adventures on the go.
The smart move? Pre-load if you can, or at least free up some storage ahead of time. Nothing kills the hype like a download bar crawling along while your friends are already exploring Velen.
Once it's installed, you'll be able to experience The Witcher 3 with improved visuals and performance — the kind of glow-up that makes a replay totally worth it. Whether you're a first-timer or a veteran who's sunk hundreds of hours in, this is a great excuse to return.
So check your local release time, clear that space, and get ready. Will you be picking up the Remastered update, or are you waiting for the reviews first?
