- Can saves be transferred between platforms?
- Achievements are automatically transferred to Xbox or trophies are automatically transferred to Playstation.
- What happens to skills? It has been previously confirmed that Geralt’s development system has undergone major changes in the remake.
- How is New Game+ stored?
- What happens after the modifications (they’re available on PC now, in the remaster they’ll be on consoles as well).
At the same time, it is also a question whether the save files of the base version of “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” will be transferred to the Xbox in the remastered version. Let us remind you that currently on consoles the save of the basic version of the game is incompatible with the full version due to the peculiarities of content recognition in the save system. However, both versions should be updated as remasters, and owners of the base game will also receive both major DLCs.
It was previously reported that the Xbox version of “The Witcher 3” will not increase in price due to the release of the remaster, but will be removed from Game Pass.
