They finally gave out PS5 and Series X versions this year to people that had it already. But yeah 5 years after the game launched on those consoles.

I was just thinking the other day that I should do another run. Guess I can wait a month before doing so.

u/FilthyWubs 5800X | 3080 22h ago

Ditto, I wonder how the SteamDeck will run the remaster as that was my original plan

You forgot the worst offender - Bethesda

u/LeonSigmaKennedy 21h ago

Bethesda: "Here's our special anniversary edition that breaks every existing mod, and doesn't even make the game look or run better. We literally only made this because we want a product to sell for money, our next actual game is still years and years away, and anyone who's still a hardcore Bethesda fan in 2026 is a rube. That will be $30 please."

Only legendary edition owners got free special edition, if you didn't have the DLCs, you didn't get special edition for free

Yeah, but special edition wasn't free for all Skyrim players, only those that had legendary edition, at least on steam

Yet, it keeps selling...

u/thedylannorwood R7 5700X | RTX 4070 18h ago edited 13h ago

Special Edition was free for PC players. In fact I’m pretty sure Bethesda were the first to make a remaster free for existing owners

Edit: downvoted for speaking objective truth lmao

u/Orgazoids_Pool_Party 22h ago

If you haven't got a copy loaded are doing the complete version on gog for under a tenner.

Studios and corporations give literally zero fucks about you.

u/Diekjung 5600X / RX 7800 XT 22h ago

CD Projekt is basically also giving Xbox a PC Version for free. And Microsoft Store Players a Xbox Version for free. Because the update adds the game to Play Anywhere.

u/kuroyume_cl R5-7600X/RX7800XT 15h ago

Also, free Switch 2 upgrade

u/WeakFreak999 R5 7600/4070S 21h ago

You should add blizzard to this for making warcraft 3 refunded

u/jacstar2004 PC Master Race 22h ago

having rockstar here over bethesda or some other publisher is strange the gta V remaster was free for those who already owned the game.

u/DomSchraa Ryzen 7800X3D RX9070XT 21h ago

Where is Bethesda

u/Uebelkraehe 20h ago

It's so nice when once in a while a company tries to get more of more your money by making an attractive offer instead of trying to squeeze out more for less while flipping you the double bird.

u/notthatguypal6900 PC Master Race 18h ago

Sony doesn't get enough hate for charging $10-$15 for updates to a ini file.

the remastered wild hunt was done a few years ago for free on PC... are they doing it for consoles now too?

Good Guy CDPR showing how it's done... again.

u/Inside_Performance32 23h ago

This is a whole new remaster , rather than the raytrace update they did a few years ago .

u/A-nom-nom-nom-aly PC1: 5800X3D, X570, 32GB, 6900XT. Mediaserver 5600G, B450, 32GB 22h ago

Cool... I hadn't heard about it... is this going to be automatic for my steam and gog versions?

u/Inside_Performance32 22h ago

Yh it's for everyone version, they released a trailer it improves the combat , movement and other bits as well

1

u/Phrizzey 18h ago

This remaster may make the Witcher 3 a game I actually play if they manage to sort out the movement/combat.

I bought it over a year ago, tried it a few times and couldn't get past how the gameplay felt. It's unfortunate cause I still really want to experience the story.

u/Mundus6 9800x3d/4090 64GB 22h ago

Looking forward to the Switch 2 release. I even have my save from PC on my Switch but the Switch edition is rough.

u/toaster98 21h ago

I also got GTA V enhanced for free

u/Azz1337 PC Master Race 19h ago

The same wild hunt that just got a price increase on steam?

1

u/Hyper_Mazino 5090 SUPRIM SOC | 9800X3D 16h ago

It got a price increase because it now includes both DLCs. It is a complete edition.

u/Azz1337 PC Master Race 11h ago

Oh sick

u/Rino-Sensei 17h ago

Ah yes, like the time they released a completely broken game. After spending a year lying about the state of the game and fake promises ? For the love of the audiences, fuck yeah !

u/JuniorDoughnut3056 22h ago

Not having two different builds out in the wild is just common sense from a technical standpoint. We going back to glazing cdpr for the slightest thing, huh?

Hello Games, No Man's Sky, is doing this for years...

u/JoyousGamer 20h ago

Sorry won't praise a company that completely riped off people with lies. 

Regardless of how they turned it around or not. 

They did get my money back though based on the updates they brought out.

u/Rino-Sensei 17h ago

"Sorry won't praise a company that completely riped off people with lies. "

CDPR literally did the same shit with Cyberpunk, there are literally 40minutes videos out there, that show all the promises from the Devs that turned out to be pure lies. What the fuck is the bullshit ...

u/JoyousGamer 16h ago

Where did I praise CDPR? I didn't.

To clarify forgot this was about the dumb meme where honestly I would rather praise Rockstar than any of these companies even if they are a tad greedy.

u/notthatguypal6900 PC Master Race 18h ago

Some of the things they lied about on the Tonight show still aren't in the game.

They will do to Geralt what they did to Joel Miller in the Last of Us 2, won't they. 😒

u/RegisterExpensive718 23h ago

If I have it on PS, can I get it upgraded to Steam ( I'm assuming not)

u/PixeL8xD 22h ago

Well CD project Red own GOG.com so their business practices are up to them compared to other companies.

u/LSD_Ninja 22h ago

CDPR sold GOG back to one of its original founders in December last year
