Your original The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt save files and unlocked achievements will carry over, so you won’t have to start over unless you want to. There is one catch: your skill points will be reset, because CD Projekt Red has overhauled the skill tree.

And this isn’t being framed as a graphics update with a fresh coat of paint. CD Projekt Red says the remaster also reworks combat and movement, redesigns the skill system, and adds cross-platform mod support. If you already own the game on PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S, you’ll get the remaster for free, with Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine included at no extra cost.

If you’ve already put hundreds of hours into Geralt, this looks like an easy one to grab, even if those carried-over achievements mean you probably shouldn’t expect a separate list to unlock.

CD Projekt Red says The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Battle.net. If you want to move your progress between versions or platforms, you’ll need a GOG account to use CD Projekt Red’s existing cross-progression system.
