Witcher 3 Complete Edition Price Shifts Ahead of Remaster Launch
The adjustment appears to bring the Complete Edition in line with the remaster's price, and the Switch increase stands out because Switch owners do not get the free upgrade that PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S owners receive.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
CD PROJEKT RED adjusted the price of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition on Sept 9. The Xbox and PC versions dropped 110 yen to 6,490 yen, while the Nintendo Switch version rose 362 yen to 7,490 yen. PlayStation prices were unchanged. The change covers download versions only and applies to a limited set of regions including Japan. It follows the Aug 26 announcement of the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Remaster, which arrives Sept 29 as a free upgrade for original owners.
The remaster arrives Sept 29 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, and owners of the original on the first three platforms receive it as a free update. That free-upgrade path is the likely reason the Complete Edition price now sits at 6,490 yen on PC and Xbox, matching the remaster's price. Switch owners do not get the same deal: moving from Switch to Switch 2 costs 100 yen, and the Switch Complete Edition now costs 7,490 yen, up 362 yen. The adjustment covers download versions only and applies to a limited set of regions including Japan, with PlayStation prices unchanged.
