The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Game of the Year Edition Launches Tomorrow Alongside Major Patch

This article is over 8 years old and may contain outdated information

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt‘s Game of the Year edition launchers tomorrow, and there’s also a huge patch coming for existing owners of the game.

We’ve known for a while that a “Game of the Year” edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was coming, and it will finally launch tomorrow. This version of the game will include all of the DLC that CD Projekt has released for their award-winning RPG.

In addition to releasing the GOTY edition, CD Projekt is also rolling out a massive patch for the game that makes fixes to a wide array of issues. These include fixes for problematic quests, tweaks to the loot randomization system, and an adjustment to the maximum item level for players who start new game plus at a high level. You can check out nearly three pages of patch notes in this PDF document. The 1.3 patch is already installed in the GOTY edition, but existing owners will be able to download it sometime tomorrow.

If you haven’t picked up The Witcher 3 yet, the GOTY edition is a great way to get the game and all the add-on content. It will launch tomorrow, and will set you back $50. If you already own the games and are just looking for the DLC, you should remember that your current save games will not work with the GOTY edition. CD Projekt recommends that owners of the existing game consider the Season Pass instead.
