A Comprehensive Guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Yes, absolutely! <strong>Your saves from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will transfer to the next-gen versions on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S<\/strong>, thanks to a brilliant cross-progression system implemented by CD Projekt Red in collaboration with GOG. This feature ensures you don&#8217;t have to leave your hard-earned progress behind when upgrading to the newer consoles. Whether you&#8217;re transitioning from a PlayStation 4 to a PS5, an Xbox One to an Xbox Series X\/S, or even switching between the PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S platforms, your journey as Geralt of Rivia can continue seamlessly. The system leverages the GOG cloud to store your save files, allowing you to access them across different devices.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Cross-Progression_Work_in_The_Witcher_3\"><\/span>How Does Cross-Progression Work in The Witcher 3?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The cross-progression system for The Witcher 3 is remarkably similar to the cross-save functionality seen in Cyberpunk 2077, another title from CD Projekt Red. Your <strong>most recent manual save, auto-save, and checkpoint save<\/strong> are all stored in the GOG cloud. This ensures that no matter where you last played, whether it was on your old console or your PC, you can easily pick up where you left off.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uploading_Your_Saves\"><\/span>Uploading Your Saves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To transfer your saves, you\u2019ll need to follow a simple process. First, ensure your copy of The Witcher 3 is updated to the latest version on your original platform (e.g., PlayStation 4 or Xbox One). Then:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Start The Witcher 3 on your previous platform.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the load game menu.<\/li>\n<li>Press the left trigger (or the equivalent on your console) to enable <strong>cross-save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>A QR code will appear on the screen. Scan this with your smartphone to log into your GOG account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Your saves are now uploaded to the GOG cloud. On your next-gen console, the process is seamless: simply log into the same GOG account, and your most recent saves will be available to download and resume your adventure.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_Included_in_the_Save_Transfer\"><\/span>What\u2019s Included in the Save Transfer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The cross-progression system transfers all the essential elements of your gameplay:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your current progress in the main storyline and side quests.<\/li>\n<li>Your character\u2019s level, abilities, and skills.<\/li>\n<li>Your inventory, including equipment, potions, and collected items.<\/li>\n<li>Your stored items within your stash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This complete transfer ensures a smooth transition to the next-gen consoles without any loss of progression or resources.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next-Gen_Upgrade_Free_But_Expansions_Need_a_Separate_Purchase\"><\/span>Next-Gen Upgrade: Free But Expansions Need a Separate Purchase<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The next-gen update for The Witcher 3 is <strong>completely free<\/strong> for all owners of the base game. This upgrade is more than just a simple graphical bump; it brings significant visual, performance, and technical enhancements, including ray tracing support and faster loading times on consoles. <\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s important to note that while the upgrade is free, the expansions \u2013 <strong>Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine<\/strong> \u2013 are not automatically included. You\u2019ll need to purchase these separately if you don\u2019t already own them. These expansions add significant content to the game, further enriching the world of The Witcher 3.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Game_Plus_and_Save_Imports\"><\/span>New Game Plus and Save Imports<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Game_Plus_NG\"><\/span>New Game Plus (NG+)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Witcher 3 also features <strong>New Game Plus (NG+)<\/strong>, allowing players to start a fresh playthrough with many of their previous achievements carried over. In NG+, you keep your gold, abilities, and most of your gear, as well as items stored in your stash. However, map items like waypoints and signposts, as well as crafting schematics, do not carry over. NG+ is a great way to experience the game again with a more powerful character.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importing_Saves_from_The_Witcher_and_The_Witcher_2\"><\/span>Importing Saves from The Witcher and The Witcher 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For PC players, The Witcher 3 also allows for the importing of save files from <strong>The Witcher<\/strong> and <strong>The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings<\/strong>.
