The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is easily one of the greatest RPGs of all time, with the upcoming remaster aiming to take the experience to an entirely new level. With better visuals, completely revamped combat mechanics, quality-of-life features, and numerous gameplay improvements, there's no better excuse to revisit the experience thanks to the free remaster. While it was announced only a month ago during Gamescom Opening Night Live, we're only a few days away from the exciting re-release, and CD Projekt Red has even been kind enough to tell us exactly when the free update will go live for all players. Global Release times provided by The Witcher on X. As announced on the official TheWitcher X account, the remaster will be released simultaneously for all regions and systems at 10:00 AM Coordinated Universal Time on September 29, which is one of the few releases where all regions will get access to the game on the same day, albeit at significantly different local times, which you can find detailed here: City Time Zone Release Date Los Angeles PDT 3:00 AM, September 29 Mexico City CST 4:00 AM, September 29 Bogotá COT 5:00 AM, September 29 Boston EDT 6:00 AM, September 29 Brasília BRT 7:00 AM, September 29 London BST 11:00 AM, September 29 Algiers WAT 11:00 AM, September 29 Accra GMT 10:00 AM, September 29 Warsaw CEST 12:00 PM, September 29 Cape Town SAST 12:00 PM, September 29 Cairo EEST 1:00 PM, September 29 Kyiv EEST 1:00 PM, September 29 Almaty ALMT 3:00 PM, September 29 Singapore SGT 6:00 PM, September 29 Beijing CST 6:00 PM, September 29 Seoul KST 7:00 PM, September 29 Tokyo JST 7:00 PM, September 29 Melbourne AEST 8:00 PM, September 29 Auckland NZDT 11:00 PM, September 29 While US fans will have to wait until the next day unless they don't mind staying up all night to play the experience, at least you won't have to worry about spoilers, considering the free remastered edition won't be adding any new story content, but simply works to significantly improve the overall gameplay experience.
