CD Projekt and Fool's Theory have announced a new DLC for 'The Witcher 3', which will be released only next year. Details will be presented at the upcoming gamescom.

The system requirements for the game have been updated in light of the upcoming expansion:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Intel Core i5-8400;
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB;
Video Memory: 6 GB;
RAM: 12 GB;
Disk Space: 70 GB SSD;
OS: 64-bit Windows 11.

For those whose hardware can't handle the updated version, it will be possible to revert to the older version (provided that they have this version available on Steam or GOG).

I hope both builds remain available in the "beta branch".

Changing the system requirements does not mean that The Witcher 3 will stop running on Windows 10 — it just means the studio cannot guarantee the game's performance on the OS, as they no longer use it to test new releases.

Nevenglos also reminded that owners of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have and will have the option to revert to an earlier version of the game. Currently — to the "Classic" (1.32), and in the future — to the current build (4.04).

The increase in system requirements is perceived very ambiguously.
What are they planning to change that requires different hardware?..
For now, I will hold on to the old version of the game with all my might :)

Great news, I hope the new expansion will be at least as good as the previous ones!
