The Witcher universe is expanding faster than a Griffin's wingspan, and fans are about to get a major treat. CD Projekt Red has officially confirmed the file sizes for the upcoming remaster of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and it's a hefty download. Players on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S will need to clear up 45GB of storage, while Nintendo Switch 2 owners will need a slightly larger 50GB. The update drops tomorrow, September 29, marking a new era for the beloved RPG.
This remaster isn't just a visual polish—it's a full next-gen overhaul that brings a host of quality-of-life improvements and new features. Among the most requested additions is the ability to completely disable carry weight limits, letting you hoard every sword and hide you find without a care. You can also turn off weapon and armor durability, so no more frantic trips to the blacksmith mid-battle. Other perks include underwater breathing and the option to change the appearance of your gear, giving players more freedom than ever to tailor their adventure.
The update arrives as part of a broader resurgence for the franchise. Netflix's The Witcher series is gearing up for its fifth and final season, starring Liam Hemsworth as Geralt, expected in 2027. Meanwhile, CD Projekt Red is hard at work on The Witcher 4, targeting a 2028 release. That game is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious titles ever, so the wait might be worth it. For now, this remaster is the perfect way to revisit the Continent before the next chapter begins.

Whether you're a veteran or a newcomer, this is the definitive way to experience one of the greatest RPGs ever made.
So, clear some space on your hard drive and get ready to dive back into the world of Geralt of Rivia. The update is free for existing owners, and it's a fantastic reason to start a new playthrough. Stay tuned to ShowtimeSpot for more coverage of The Witcher franchise as it continues to evolve.
