The Witcher 3 Remastered Adds Xbox Play Anywhere
The Witcher 3 Remastered will make the Xbox version a Play Anywhere title, letting you play on PC too. Here's what that means for you.
Ever wished you could buy The Witcher 3 once and play it on both Xbox and PC? Well, that wish is about to come true.
CD Projekt Red has confirmed that The Witcher 3 Remastered will turn the Xbox version into a Play Anywhere title. Right now, the Xbox version doesn't support Play Anywhere, but that's changing with the remaster. This means if you own the game on Xbox, you'll also get access to the PC version at no extra cost.
For those unfamiliar, Xbox Play Anywhere is a feature that lets you buy a digital game once and play it on both Xbox consoles and Windows PCs. Your progress, achievements, and saves carry over between devices. It's a pretty sweet deal, especially for games like The Witcher 3 that you might want to play on the go or on a beefier rig.
The remaster itself is already highly anticipated, bringing visual and technical improvements to one of the best RPGs of all time. But this Play Anywhere support adds even more value, especially for players who own both an Xbox and a gaming PC.
So what does this mean for you? If you already own The Witcher 3 on Xbox, you'll likely get the PC version when the remaster launches. If you're planning to buy it, you'll essentially get two versions for the price of one. That's a win-win.
Of course, we still don't know the exact release date for the remaster, but it's expected to arrive sometime in the future. For now, it's just good to know that CD Projekt Red is making it easier for players to enjoy the game across platforms.
