CD Projekt RED has shared the storage requirements for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered, and the numbers suggest a tighter package than the current release. The remastered version requires approximately 45 GB of storage, which is smaller than the current Steam version that includes DLC and weighs over 57 GB. The remaster arrives on September 29, giving users a concrete date to plan their storage cleanup.
CD Projekt RED confirms the remastered edition requires less space than the current release
The update targets PC and current-generation consoles, bringing the game to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch 2. CD Projekt RED Community Manager Marcin Momot published the specific file sizes on social media to clarify the storage needs. This data applies to the standalone remaster build rather than the legacy version still available on Steam.
- PC (Steam) Size: about 45 GB
- PlayStation 5 Size: 45 GB
- Xbox Series Size: 45 GB
- Nintendo Switch 2 Size: approximately 50 GB
- Release Date: September 29
The installation size sits at approximately 45 GB for PC on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. The Nintendo Switch 2 version requires slightly more space at approximately 50 GB, which Momot described as a separate product. These figures represent the base installation weight for the remastered edition.
For context, the current version of The Witcher 3 on Steam, including all DLC, weighs a little over 57 GB. The remaster cuts that requirement by roughly 12 GB on most platforms. This smaller file size allows players to install the game while preserving storage space for other applications.
