About this tag
The the witcher 3 tag covers news about the PC version of CD Projekt Red’s action RPG, with current attention on its next update and changing system requirements. The reported update is set to make Windows 11, an SSD, and DirectX 12 the baseline, ending official testing and support for Windows 10, hard disk drives, and DirectX 11. These changes are separate from Microsoft’s Windows 10 Extended Security Updates and are tied to the game’s next update rather than a confirmed October 2026 date. The tag may be useful for readers tracking compatibility, hardware upgrades, and future content such as the planned Songs of the Past expansion.
