It also comes with all additional content released for the game, alongside new items including swords, armor, and alternate outfits inspired by The Witcher Netflix series — and more!

    UPDATED FOR XBOX SERIES X|S
    Behold the dark fantasy world of the Continent like never before!

    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

    The masterpiece becomes a legend with this Complete Edition. The same The Witcher 3 as always, but better than ever. Looks better, plays better and has more content. An essential game.

    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.

    The Witcher 3 is nearly a masterpiece. If the combat and movement were better it would be for me. As is this is one of the best experiences in gaming, and everyone should play this version of it.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a must play title for any gamer, and the next gen upgrade is an excellent excuse to jump back into the bleak monster ridden world.

    While graphics are only one component of a game, these improvements’ impacts on the experience of playing Witcher 3 are pretty large. It is still the same thrilling combat, engaging stories, and darkly detailed world as before, but the improvements allow the player to be more immersed in it than ever before. It all comes together to make one of the best games ever made even more enjoyable.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was already one of the best games of all-time, but now the Complete Edition has cemented that legacy and will ensure that it is a game which is talked about for many more years to come.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition joins the current generation in style. To be honest this is the best graphics work ever implemented and is worth admiring with all the technical improvements made with raytracing. In addition, the new content of the Netflix series included in the game is a great detail.

Gives it a 0 and says graphics are a downgrade, no multiplayer, bad card game, and half a game here? Are you absolutely joking me right now with that garbage?

    This game is anywhere from 100-200 hours without the DLC, and rest assured the game was complete when it came out originally too. The DLC is just a nice bonus with more content, and now it's free. The expansions were not necessary whatsoever, but CDPR decided to make them because Witcher 3 was so popular.

    I cannot believe these fake reviewers giving amazing games 0's for absolute trash and false reasons. Man that is annoying. This game is a single player RPG, not a frickin MMORPG or multiplayer game. Get real, OnlyOneHere. What a piece of garbage. Graphics are also great and they were ahead of their time when the game first game out as well.

    Witcher 3 will be forever a gem in the RPG world.    … Expand

The game exceeded myI never played the original, so the Complete Edition was my first ever play through, which includes both expansion packs. The game exceeded my expectations. The world was huge and beautiful with scenic landscapes and lively villages and cities that are huge compared to other RPGs. Best medieval world in any game ever. The game looks incredible in 4K Dolby Vision on an OLED television. The story seemed to be well written, though I occasionally had trouble comprehending all aspects of it. Many people have criticized the combat for being "clunky" but I mostly enjoyed it and found it to be fun. It's plenty fine.

    The weapons, armor and crafting system is enjoyable. Weapon and armor durability is long lasting, unlike in certain other games (***cough*** BotW ***cough***). And I like how you never have to redo anything if you end up dying. The game lets you try again right where you left off. Overall, it's an easy game, though a handful of bosses put up a real fight. Most bosses I would beat on the first or second attempt, but a few had me trying up to 20 times, particularly in the expansion packs, which are not as easy as the base game.

    The music was good, though there aren't really many memorable pieces, but the soundtrack fit the game's environment and plot very well. The characters were all great and well developed. I liked the fast travel system and the quest log does a great job at organizing everything. I never felt completely lost or not sure where to go, except on rare occasion.

    I mostly played the main quests, but occasionally did a side quest and clocked in at a combined 67 hours for the base game plus both expansion packs. There is a LOT of content here, even sticking to the main game. You will have to make hundreds of choices throughout the game, so choose carefully. But for the most part, you can't really go wrong.    … Expand

    Don't think for a second I'm done criticizing your game CDPR. How can I forget the obvious downgrade in graphics this garbage had. If thisDon't think for a second I'm done criticizing your game CDPR. How can I forget the obvious downgrade in graphics this garbage had. If this were Ubisoft, we all know how that narrative would've went. Speaking of Ubisoft, it's funny when CDPR fans make fun of Ubisoft physics. Do they not pay attention to CDPR physics? Those physics are even worse than Ubisoft. The Gwent minigame is horrible. The characters don't even use the cards in real-time. Red Dead Redemption 1 is from 2010 in a 360/PS3 console, and the characters actually hold the cards in real-time. That's embarrassing and it just goes to show how cheap and lazy these greedy developers are.

    For a game made by "consumer friendly" developers, they sure did a fantastic job at allowing me to play with friends. Oh that's right, there is no multiplayer. The greedy developers had the audacity to slap a $60 price tag at launch for only half of the game. It's easy to brag about no microtransactions when these lazy and greedy developers only worked on half the game. I guarantee you their future games with online multiplayer will have MTX. Speaking of which, this game did technically have microtransactions. Those story DLCs were the MTX. If CDPR were truly the good guys, then they would've gave us the complete game at the start rather than joining the greedy trend of releasing an incomplete game for $60, only to complete it with paid DLC 1 year later. What's laughable is that this practice gets praised by gamers and journalists, and then they have a surprised Pikachu face when their beloved developers become even greedier. The DLCs are now free, but that should've been the case in the beginning. I don't recommend this boring game at all.    … Expand
