Geralt Arrives on Switch

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition was released on Nintendo Switch, bringing the full open-world RPG to a handheld console.

This was a big announcement because many players did not expect such a large game to run on Switch.

The Switch version included the base game, Hearts of Stone, Blood and Wine, and extra downloadable content.

This made it a complete version of the game, giving players the full Witcher 3 experience on the go.

The Witcher 3 is a massive open-world game, so seeing it run on a portable system was impressive at the time.

Even though the graphics were lower than other versions, the ability to play such a huge RPG handheld made the Switch release stand out.

The Switch version opened the game to a new audience and gave existing fans another way to play.

For many players, being able to explore Velen, Novigrad, Skellige, and Toussaint anywhere was the main reason the port was exciting.
