Witcher 3 Wild Hunt next-gen upgrade: Cost, system requirements for PC, and preload
How much does the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt next-gen upgrade cost?
As stated by CD Projekt Red, the next-gen upgrade is free for anyone who owns The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt or the GOTY edition. Additionally, the update will also be for those who have never played the game and want to hop into the world of monster slaying post the next-gen launch.
To add a cherry on top, CD Projekt Red has also announced a new DLC inspired by Netflix's Witcher Series. This will also be made available to players at no extra cost. The best part about this freebie is it won't be exclusive to the next-gen version of the game.
That said, there is one tiny catch with the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt next-gen upgrade; players who own the disc edition of the game will need a next-gen console that has a disc-reader. So that leaves out Xbox Series S and Playstation 5 Digital Edition owners.
What are the PC requirements for The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt next-gen upgrade?
CD Projekt Red is yet to reveal the exact system requirements for the next-gen upgrade. Nevertheless, given that it goes live in four days, readers can expect to see some information soon.
Given that the upgrade will introduce 4K resolution, HDR textures, ray tracing, and other graphical updates, it can be assumed that players will need a mid to high-tier rig to enjoy the game without performance issues. For those who do not have a device capable of utilizing the next-gen upgrade, the game can also be played on Nvidia GeForce Now.
Will there be any option to preload The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt next-gen upgrade?
No, there will not be an option to preload the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt next-gen upgrade. As mentioned by Marcin Momot, Global Community Director for CD Projekt Red, since the upgrade will be more of a patch, there will not be any preload option.
That said, players who have yet to download the game or plan to do so after the upgrade goes live will have to wait patiently until it's done. For those who own the game and have a slow internet connection, downloading it as soon as possible is best to save time.
