The Witcher 3 system requirements

The Witcher 3 system requirements are very achievable, even for older or budget gaming PCs and laptops. However, both its next-gen update and its upcoming 10th anniversary DLC - called Songs of the Past - have seen the game's system requirements rise since the game initially released. Some of these changes include hard drives no longer being supported and Windows 11 being required, so you may need to upgrade if you want to jump in and experience the new DLC for one of the greatest games ever made. These changes also include updates to the minimum graphics card requirements, although most gamers won't suddenly need to upgrade to the best graphics card around - they're still very modest options. However, this is an area you'll want to consider upgrading even further if you want to experience the ray tracing and other upgrades available in the latest version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
