Part 4/9:
The developer has announced that the upcoming PS5 and Xbox Series X/S upgrade of The Witcher 3 will include comprehensive improvements like ray tracing, faster load times, and enhanced graphics. Most notably, all existing owners of the game will receive this upgrade free of charge, encompassing adjustments across the base game, expansions, and extra content.
This generosity is significant, especially when contrasted with industry norms. Many other titles are adopting a pay-to-upgrade model, demanding additional fees — sometimes as high as $40–$70 — for access to improved versions of games already purchased.
