CD Projekt Red announces a January 26 release date for the physical release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition. This release is for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game and will hit store shelves in North America, Europe, and "select territories across the world."
This release is the same as the free next-gen update that released on December 14, 2022 for those that already owned The Witcher 3 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It's also the same as the standalone digital release that happened on the same day for those next-gen platforms. This is purely a physical release of that same content, so no need to double-dip unless you really want to or don't yet own the game.
This release includes all of those bells and whistles from the next-gen update. Those bells and whistles include the Performance and Ray Tracing modes, support for AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), faster loading times, and more. PlayStation 5 owners also get the benefit of DualSense support with the adaptive triggers and such. There is also a new quest and items added that are inspired by The Witcher Netflix show. There's also some new camera options, quick Sign casting, Photo mode, cross-platform progression, map and UI tweaks, some community-created mods officially integrated, and more.
This release also obviously includes all of the previously released DLC. This includes the game's two major expansions: Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.
