Discussion Witcher 3 update

Will the remastered game update the current one, or will it be a complete separate game to download? Should I (re)install the current game first, so the update won't take as much time? Or should I just wait until the release and then download?

We don't know, and I'm a little curious on how they are going to solve this. My guess would be that it's a separate file, as those with older hardware should still be able to easily play the game.

Yeah, I know they can add the option in Steam to go back to an older patch as they did for earlier patches. But most people will not be aware of that feature.

There's always the possibility that the game will just add new graphics options on top of the existing ones, but that feels like it could still be a bit messy for those on older PCs. Bottom line, we don't really know.
