(I just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/memory\/team-group-ceo-warns-that-dram-and-ssd-prices-will-still-rise-if-you-need-memory-we-recommend-purchasing-it-as-soon-as-possible\/\">hope you already have one<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Just for fun, here&#8217;s the original minimum spec, as still (for now) listed <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/292030\/The_Witcher_3_Wild_Hunt\/\" target=\"_blank\">on Steam<\/a>, slightly re-arranged for a better line-by-line matchup:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>CPU<\/strong>: Intel CPU Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz \/ AMD A10-5800K APU (3.8GHz)<\/li>\n<li><strong>GPU<\/strong>: Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 660 \/ AMD GPU Radeon HD 7870<\/li>\n<li><strong>VRAM<\/strong>: Whatever, man<\/li>\n<li><strong>RAM<\/strong>: 6 GB RAM<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage<\/strong>: 50 GB available space<\/li>\n<li><strong>OS<\/strong>: 64-bit Windows 7, 64-bit Windows 8 (8.1)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, none of this is to say that you won&#8217;t be able to play The Witcher 3 on a PC that comes closer to the original hardware requirements than this updated spec: &#8220;Not supported&#8221; doesn&#8217;t mean &#8220;won&#8217;t run,&#8221; after all, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/hwsurvey\" target=\"_blank\">Steam Hardware and Software Survey<\/a> indicates that a lot of you are still holding on to Windows 10\u2014and there are even some true hardcores out there white-knuckling it with Windows 7. (<em>Respect<\/em>.) <\/p>\n<p>It does mean, though, that you&#8217;re going to need hipper hardware than you had 10 years ago if you want to be sure The Witcher 3 and its new expansion will run, and more to the point, if you want CD Projekt to help you if it does not.<\/p>\n<p>There is one other avenue of recourse for those with aging rigs, however, at least for users on Steam or GOG.

CD Projekt also didn&#8217;t specify whether the older version of the game will support the upcoming expansion, so you might be hosed on that front\u2014and you&#8217;re definitely hosed if you play The Witcher 3 on the Epic Games Store, as it does not support access to older builds.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-eMVG3W\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/eMVG3W.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"8b2d7198-6d9b-47fd-9e6a-58bcf78ee9d8\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-witcher-3-reveals-new-system-requirements-and-its-now-windows-11-or-nothing.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"8b2d7198-6d9b-47fd-9e6a-58bcf78ee9d8\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-witcher\/the-witcher-3-reveals-new-system-requirements-and-its-now-windows-11-or-nothing\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CD Projekt finally confirmed today that it&#8217;s working on a new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, called Songs of the Past, that&#8217;s expected to be out sometime in 2027.
