\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

As a quick reminder, the newly remastered version of The Witcher 3<\/a> is an update to the current Complete Edition for the RPG, and that patch will be around 45GB in size.<\/p>\n

CD Projekt Red executive Marcin Momot revealed the download size of the update<\/a> across all platforms in time for the weekend just gone, confirming PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players will have the same amount of data to download. It’s a bit bigger on Nintendo Switch 2 (50GB), but the same on PC.<\/p>\n

Since we\u2019ve been receiving lots of questions about the size of The Witcher 3 Remastered update, here\u2019s what to expect on each platform:<\/p>\n

The developer previously confirmed this new remastered version of the game essentially replaces<\/a> the existing Complete Edition \u2014 it’s not going to be a separate, standalone version. Therefore, all your save data and Trophy data will remain and work for the remastered version.<\/p>\n

With so many new releases during this September and October period, I’m not sure returning to The Witcher 3 is the best thing to do right now, but another playthrough sounds like a great way to spend your Christmas break. With the new expansion Songs of the Past<\/a> coming out in 2027, you can get a save fully completed with the current content and ready to dive into that DLC next year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
