The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition - Free Upgrade

[TheWildWhelk]

I have TW3 on the 1X and it's a super-fine game, but i'd rather that CDPR used resources to give us the full-fat PS5 version of Cyberpunk rather than giving us yet another enhanced Witcher game and half-measure edition of 2077. Priorities, gentlemen!

Projekt Red has expanded their team, so I can imagine the upgrade to PS5 shouldn't take much of their time. Their priority will absolutely be Cyberpunk for PS4 and PS5, since a developer really counts on their last game for lasting success.

I thought that the PS5 version wouldn't arrive for maybe 12 months but they probably had a Witcher 3 remaster for release around the Summer. With the massive launch problems on base consoles, i'd expect the next gen versions will be pushed down the line but Witcher 3 could be affected too potentially depending on how many staff they pull to work on base consoles.

I am waiting so far to play on next gen till maybe Holiday 2021, so i'm fine with them having a delay if it happens. Need to really play through it all again and try the DLC for the first time.

I'd imagine it's a separate and pretty small team working on the Witcher 3 upgrade.

The PC version has looked way better than the console versions for ages, so just a matter of getting those textures etc. into the console versions and optimizing.

That said, I agree with the sentiment as I won't rebuy (had the base game on disc, so only own the DLCs on PS4/5 currently) or replay Witcher 3. As much as I loved it, I had my fill and it's just too long a game to replay. So I'd much rather get the next gen upgrade come sooner--just doubt the Witcher 3 upgrade is affecting that time line. That is being held up by needing to focus on the big patches they said are coming in Jan and Feb to make Cyberpunk playable on last gen consoles without crashing.

Anyway, I'm not as antsy as many for the upgrade since I haven't had any crashes in 24 ours or so of play on XSX yet. Just some bugs (mostly visual and audio stuff) that will be nice to have fixed along with the graphics boost.

I wonder if a Witcher 3 upgrade will happen by late 2021 with all the work required on correcting Cyberpunk. If they try to upgrade Witcher 3 now, it could be seen as a diversion and cause some to ask why they aren't putting that effort into Cyberpunk, so I'm going to say this upgrade isn't going to happen anytime soon in 2021.
