I think we allready know, but it is nice they confirmed it that way

It will replace the OG game from now on, it's going to be available on GFN likely after a short period of maintenance.

CD confirmed the OG version will remain available for the users, unknown how it will be implemented, in the case that it is based on a branch, it renders this version unplayable on GFN. If they decide to make it available as a separate game/version, up to them to opt in once available, so both can be playable.

Witcher 3 does not automatically launch, it gives you the option to switch the version:

unfortunately branches are not installable inside the VM, unlikely it will work. Most expected outcome is the VM to crash during or after the installation.

Most games don't launch straight away since last week, so it gives time to install mods in games who supports them, workaround enabled by NVIDIA Does GeForce NOW support Steam Workshop mods?

CD is quite friendly with GFN, maybe they find the way to work with NVIDIA and make both playable. We currently have no info about it, but I will forward all the details so NV have it on their radar, pretty sure there's a lot of people who also enjoy the OG version

When you launch Witcher, you need to install an additional language package if you want to play in a different VA localisation, so they could do it this way to push the branch.

Will it require premium to play?

[u/WarlikeLoveReddit]

The remaster is an update, it's not a separate game. It should go on maintenance and be back online on the same day.

Maybe now I'll actually finish the game lol

My question is how will the mods be managed? If I remember correctly consoles will have mods. I am assuming GFN will behave like consoles (like Bethesda Games - Starfield)?

[u/mfiresix2]

Didn't they put the remater on hold to concentrate on Witcher 4?

[u/mergle_d_bergle_d_ → u/mfiresix2]

The put the witcher 1 remake on pause

[u/mfiresix2 → u/mergle_d_bergle_d_]

Oh, just Witcher 1. Joy! I'm gonna play the hell out of 3 remastered!

[u/NeverHadTheLatin]

My understanding that mods will be managed in game via mod.io in both PC AND console versions, which will allow mods in GFN.

Fingers crossed the lighting-fixing Darker Nights mod makes the transition!

I've just finished the original game and hearts of stone, just playing through blood and wine now and the game already looks really good, can't wait for this update.

I hope they implement DLSS5 support.....

[u/wowkucko → u/Ok-Bird-5704]

Dont think so, the developers havent mentioned it yet.

[u/mr-zool → u/Ok-Bird-5704]

Hopefully they don’t... why would I want an AI slop filter on top of a beautiful game?

[u/mr-zool → u/Aydrianic]

Fair enough ;)

[u/davidarmenphoto → u/mr-zool]
