According to a listing on retailer Ultima, the physical version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PS5 will be released on January 26, 2023.
While the game’s listing has since been removed, it was revealed that the game will retail for PLN 159.90, which is roughly the equivalent of $34.99. Here’s the official blurb from CDPR on the physical version:
CD PROJEKT RED is planning a physical release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition for late January 2023. It will be available both for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The box will include a disc containing the base game and the Hearts of Stone & Blood and Wine expansions.
All official DLCs and upgrades released during the last seven years by CD PROJEKT RED will also be part of this set — including the free next-gen update, featuring dozens of visual, performance, and technical enhancements (including ray tracing support, faster loading times on consoles, a variety of mods integrated into the experience, and much more). The box will contain only the aforementioned disc. Price and availability are determined by retailers in each territory.
The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt was previously released for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S as a digital download on December 14, 2022. This version of the critically acclaimed fantasy-RPG includes a wealth of visual and performance enhancements, including ray tracing, improved draw distance and more detailed character models.
A report by Digital Foundry has revealed that the PS5 version of The Witcher 3 features longer draw distance than the Xbox Series X version, although both editions of the game are still by far and away a huge improvement over PS4 and Xbox One.
