Current picture
What is known now
Each section keeps its scope narrow so a high-level announcement is not mistaken for a complete launch specification.
Confirmed date
September 29, 2026 is stated in CD PROJEKT RED’s announcement and current product page. This date applies to the announced Remastered release, not the 2022 Next-Gen Update.
Announced platforms
The launch platform set is PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Battle.net is also named as a PC storefront.
Owner upgrade
The announcement describes Remastered as a free upgrade for owners on qualifying platforms. Account, edition, store, and physical-copy edge cases should be checked against official support.
Included expansions
Current official guidance says Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are included for base-game owners. Songs of the Past is a separate paid expansion planned for 2027.

What to do next
- Step 1
Confirm your target platform
Use the platforms page before assuming an older console or another storefront is supported.
- Step 2
Check your ownership path
Use the upgrade checker for documented Switch and Xbox paths, then open official support for account-specific eligibility.
- Step 3
Recheck close to launch
Return after CDPR publishes regional timing, preload, launch notes, or a day-one patch. Do not convert a countdown estimate into an official unlock time.

Common mistakes
Avoid these wrong assumptions
Using a retailer countdown as the official time
Store countdowns can be regional or provisional. The exact time remains unpublished until a first-party page states it.
Calling this the 2022 update
The 2026 Remastered release is a distinct product update with newly announced changes.
