Before you stands a war-torn, monster-infested continent you can explore at will. Your current contract? Tracking down Ciri — the Child of Prophecy, a living weapon that can alter the shape of the world. The Complete Edition contains the base game, offering a huge, over 100-hour long, open-world adventure, as well as both of its massive story expansions: Hearts of Stone & Blood and Wine worth an extra 50 hours of gameplay! It also comes with all additional content released for the game, alongside new features and items, including a built-in Photo Mode, swords, armor, and alternate outfits inspired by The Witcher Netflix series — and more!

    UPDATED FOR PLAYSTATION 5
    Behold the dark fantasy world of the Continent like never before! This edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has been enhanced with numerous visual and technical improvements, including vastly improved level of detail, faster loading times, a range of community created and newly developed mods for the game, real-time ray tracing, 3D audio support, and more — all implemented with the power of the PlayStation 5 in mind. The game also utilizes the unique features of the Dual Sense controller, with its advanced haptics and adaptive triggers, letting you immerse yourself in the adventure even more!

    PLAY AS A HIGHLY TRAINED MONSTER SLAYER FOR HIRE
    -Trained from early childhood and mutated to gain superhuman skills, strength, and reflexes, witchers are a counterbalance to the monster-infested world in which they live.
    -Gruesomely destroy foes as a professional monster hunter armed with a range of upgradeable weapons, mutating potions, and combat magic.
    -Hunt down a wide variety of exotic monsters, from savage beasts prowling mountain passes to cunning supernatural predators lurking in the shadowy back alleys of densely populated cities.
    -Invest your rewards to upgrade your weaponry and buy custom armor, or spend them on horse races, card games, fist fighting, and other pleasures life brings.

    EXPLORE A MORALLY AMBIGUOUS FANTASY OPEN WORLD
    -Built for endless adventure, the massive open world of The Witcher sets new standards in terms of size, depth, and complexity.
    -Traverse a fantastical open world: explore forgotten ruins, caves, and shipwrecks, trade with merchants and dwarven smiths in cities, and hunt across the open plains, mountains, and seas.
    -Deal with treasonous generals, devious witches, and corrupt royalty to provide dark and dangerous services.
    -Make choices that go beyond good & evil, and face their far-reaching consequences.

    TRACK DOWN THE CHILD OF PROPHECY
    -Take on the most important contract of your life: to track down the child of prophecy, the key to saving or destroying this world.
    -In times of war, chase down the child of prophecy, a living weapon foretold by ancient elven legends.
    -Struggle against ferocious rulers, spirits of the wilds, and even a threat from beyond the veil – all hell-bent on controlling this world.
    -Define your destiny in a world that may not be worth saving.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition is as essential now as it was seven years ago. Whether you're looking to play the game for the first time or have been waiting for this free upgrade (and bonus quest) before revisiting, then this is the perfect time to start. It's a masterpiece and still stands at the top of its genre.

    This free update delivers on all counts, with not only a substantive graphical upgrade but an entirely new quest that's worth the price of admission alone. If you've played before, we still recommend heading back. If you haven't, you're in for one of the best games of all time.

    There’s not much to give an opinion on here, as much of the change implemented is visual and quality of life. It’s a welcome update, and if it’s been a while since you’ve played or if you’ve just never gotten around to it, now is a great time to do so. The Witcher 3 has been in a good place for a while, but these upgrades further cement it in it’s spot as one of the all-time greats.

    The game has never looked so good on home consoles, whether in 4K Ray-Tracing or in 60 frames per second. If this update also offers nice game comfort options, the adventure remains similar to what we knew until then, for lack of new content. Despite the number of years, The Witcher 3 remains one of the essential titles of recent years, both in terms of role-playing, history or even open world. If you haven't experienced it yet and don't have a powerful PC, then this next-gen update is a great way to experience the world of the witcher Geralt of Rivia.

    Due to raytracing and 3D-sound the next-gen-version of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" is a major improvement in comparison to the original. Additionally the DLCs and updates secure hours of enjoyment.

    CD Projekt Red’s free update overhauls the Witcher 3’s graphics, fine-tunes some familiar features, and offers you a nostalgic experience that feels new at times but just as good as you last left it.

    Judging The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition on its entertainment value is easy – it’s perfect. It has an unbelievable story, compelling characters, solid gameplay, and a properly thought-through backend that shows the developers are all-in on delivering an unforgettable experience. On the next-generation upgrade side of this release, it’s just not complete. While the performance mode takes the experience up a notch with visuals and frame rate, the Ray Tracing mode is unplayable and incomplete. It hurts the experience more than it helps it.

Yes it’s a slow burn, but that’s why the payoff hits so hang in there. Lots of poetry and depth within each character and quest, this is what elevates The Witcher above so many games. The update brings new fluidity with “quick casting” and much improved visuals thanks to the modder halkhogan. Ray tracing isn’t so stable right now. Cross saving works great. Loving another play through thanks to this free update.… Expand

The characterAs a first time player this must be one of the most overrated games out today. The combat and world is mediocre at best. The character building lacks depth and the world feels empty with repetitive enemy encounters. It reminds of Farcry and some of the new Assassin Creed games. I got bored after a while. I think the big saving grace for this game is its solid story. I can see how maybe a few years ago this game was cutting edge, but by today's standards it probably aged a bit.… Expand
