The Witcher 3 Remastered release time is almost upon us, which means you'll soon be able to visit the upgraded and enhanced Northern Kingdoms as you travel with Geralt of Rivia in search of monsters to slay. Helpfully there's only one time you need to know about as there's a simultaneous global launch taking place, though naturally this means the release will be more convenient in certain parts of the world than others! To find out when the adventure starts in your region, this is when you can play The Witcher 3 Remastered wherever you are.
If you want the lowdown on the biggest changes to look forward to, then here's a round up of what's new in The Witcher 3 Remastered.
What time does The Witcher 3 Remastered come out?
The updated version of the game is arriving on September 29, and the launch will be simultaneous globally with The Witcher 3 Remastered release time set for 10am UTC on all platforms. This translates around the world as follows:
- US West Coast: 3am PDT
- US East Coast: 6am EDT
- UK: 11am BST
- Central Europe: 12noon CEST
- Eastern Australia: 8pm AEST
- New Zealand: 11pm NZDT
That means The Witcher 3 Remastered is launching early morning in the United States, around lunchtime across Europe, and late evening in Australia and New Zealand. As this release is simultaneous, this is nothing to be gained from any tricks to change the internal clock on your device to another time zone or use a VPN to make it think you're situated in a different location.
When it does go live, all you need to do is update your game on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, or Switch 2 to get the Remastered version for free, which also includes the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions at no additional cost. If you're still on PS4 or Xbox One then you won't be able to get the Remastered upgrade, but those two DLC packs have now been made free so you can at least check them out if you haven't already.
