With a new generation of consoles launching soon, CD Projekt intends to take advantage of the new hardware and update their massive open world RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with “a range of visual and technical improvements.” This new edition will be available on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, as well as PC, and the game’s current owners will get it for free.

Here’s the official statement:

We’re working on the next generation edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt!

Developed to take advantage of the most powerful gaming hardware, the next-gen edition of the game will feature a range of visual and technical improvements — including ray tracing and faster loading times — across the base game, both expansions, and all extra content.

The next generation edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will release as a standalone purchase for PC, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, as well as a free update for everyone who already owns the game on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
