The Witcher 3 system requirements change for the first time in 4 years as CDPR wants "to ensure smooth performance and compatibility going forward" for Songs of the Past

Ciri in The Witcher 3.

The Witcher 3 is back in the limelight thanks to CD Projekt Red's announcement of its RPG's new DLC, Songs of the Past – an expansion that'll apparently follow some updates to the base game's hardware requirements.

That's right – one of the best RPGs to date is indeed getting brand-new DLC sometime in 2027, confirming long-standing rumors of a post-Blood and Wine expansion. Although CD Projekt Red hasn't told us much about Songs of the Past just yet, the developer did outline some hardware requirement changes in a follow-up post online.

Old technology can't support new software forever, after all, but thankfully, nothing discussed is too drastic.
