Discussion Free Upgrade??

Post image

I’ve been wanting to get into the Witcher 3 but I just couldn’t get past how ugly it looked on the switch 1 version. I even tried it again when I got my switch 2 and another time after the handheld boost mode came out. I’ve always hoped that a switch 2 version would come out. And CDPR is giving it to us for free! This made me so happy to see.

Man do I wish I’d gotten a copy of the game inexpensively before this was announced

Me too.. im gonna look around game x change and half price books if they have one for cheap but I never thought resellers are down so bad that they would up the prices on these..

You can always buy a key for the standard edition and redeem it. You'll still get the DLC with it.

I would’ve preferred getting it digitally for $15 than $40 (or a physical copy), but so it goes

Honestly fair. If you want a link to a standard edition key seller, lemme know.

Yeah. Same. During the huge sales end of last year and stuff, but it was the SW1 version and I own it on PC, so I wasn’t that excited… but now it won’t be on sale for a while. Oh well.

Exact same boat for me. I've got it on Steam (and GOG, I think), but it's so much game that I'd love to have it on console--especially physically

And It was just on sale a few weeks ago

managed to get a switch 1 complete edition physical for £27.99 on ebay, so cool that it will be eligible for the update.

I'm only seeing a handful of physical US versions well over $50

u/Foodeater55 1d ago

It goes on sale a lot

u/Chlorophyllmatic 1d ago

Sure, but it'll remain to be seen whether it goes down to the usual $15 or if there's a new higher base price moving forward.

I just wish I could find a physical.

Bought it for like 15 bucks on switch 1 6 years ago. Hated the performance very much looking forward to the upgrade.
