CD Projekt Red responds to players worried about Witcher 3 Remastered saves
CD Projekt Red said the free upgrade will keep existing saves and achievements, while skills and settings will reset for returning players.
On Tuesday, September 1, 2026, Projekt Red confirmed that existing The Witcher saves and unlocked achievements will remain compatible with Wild Hunt Remastered upon its release.
Launching September 29 on PS5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch, Wild Hunt Remastered serves as a free upgrade for existing owners, introducing overhauled graphics and enhanced combat.
While skills and settings will reset due to gameplay changes, players can reallocate them immediately, allowing fans to "get back on the Path right where you left off," the developer stated.
This release precedes a new paid expansion arriving in 2027 and the studio's planned Witcher title in 2028, helping both longtime and new fans prepare for future adventures.
The feature is increasingly rare in modern re-releases; other publishers recently launched game versions offering no save compatibility, making this carry-over functionality particularly significant for fans of the RPGs.
The release of the remastered version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt won't force players to start their adventure from scratch. CD Projekt Red confirmed that players on all target platforms will retain their old saves. See more
