The Nintendo Switch 2 Loophole: Getting The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Remastered for Free
Imagine owning one physical cartridge of The Witcher 3 and being able to claim a digital version of the remaster on multiple accounts. Well, Nintendo Switch 2 users have discovered a generous loophole that allows just that.
The Unprecedented Approach by CD Projekt Red
CD Projekt Red has taken a unique approach with The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2. Unlike traditional upgrades, where the original cartridge must remain inserted, this process links a full digital license directly to your Nintendo Account. Users on the gaming subreddit have confirmed this groundbreaking method.
The physical cartridge for The Witcher 3 was initially available for the original Nintendo Switch, each with a unique serial key identifier. CD Projekt Red’s current system does not restrict additional claims once a cartridge has been used, allowing players to unlock the remaster on multiple accounts.
How to Claim Your Free Copy
Here’s how you can snag a free digital copy of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Remastered on your Nintendo Switch 2:
- Insert the physical cartridge of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt into your Nintendo Switch 2.
- Launch the game and access the in-game eShop link.
- Follow the prompts in the Nintendo eShop from the game’s interface and select the free remastered edition upgrade.
- After claiming it, exit the game, remove the cartridge, and voila! The digital copy of the remaster will be waiting in your library for download.
As for whether CD Projekt Red will patch this redemption method, only time will tell. So, if you’re interested, consider borrowing a copy sooner rather than later. Happy gaming!
