The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition has been rated for the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 in Europe by the Pan European Game Information (PEGI). This could indicate the next-generation versions of the game are not too far off from release.
It was announced earlier this year a free next-generation update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition will launch in the second half of 2021. It would be available as a standalone purchase on the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, as well as a free upgrade for those who already own the game for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
The next-generation edition of the game will feature a "range of visual and technical improvements including ray tracing and faster loading times across the base game, both expansions, and all extra content."
It will also have an updated box art and free DLC that is inspired by the The Witcher Netflix series.

If CDPR had just stuck with The Witcher rather than spending a decade making mediocre CP2047, we'd be talking about TW5 right now.
Cyberpunk was fantastic, played it on my PC, no issues whatsoever. Great game indeed, the game should have not launched on consoles, should have been only PC, PS5 and xbox series.
In fact I enjoyed more cyberpunk than witcher 3 which I found a bit boring.
I enjoyed CP2077 as well, on XBSX. But, a decade of work went into that.....
And it shows, I was blown away with graphics, ultra fast loadings, huge open world with amazing performance, details, possibilities. It clearly shows more work than witcher 3.
And its really not a decade, development started in 2016, thats less than 5 years of REAL development. it was announced in 2012 but they were still working on witcher 3 and then the DLCs.
Witcher 3 had bugs and glitches but not as gamebreaking as cybersucks
I want the upgrade now so i can continue my dlc
