The Witcher 3 Remastered arrives as a free upgrade for existing owners of the title, while CD PROJEKT RED has also distributed additional content to players for free in a recent move, sparking questions on the approach with the Songs of the Past DLC.

If you’re wondering whether owning The Witcher 3 Remastered provides access to the Songs of the Past DLC, we’ve got all the details.

Does The Witcher 3 Remastered Include Songs of The Past DLC?

No, the upcoming Songs of the Past DLC for The Witcher 3 is not included as part of the Remastered upgrade, dropping September 29, and requires an additional purchase.

During Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, it was announced that all players in The Witcher 3 will receive free access to two existing pieces of DLC, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, but this doesn’t include the next DLC.

Instead, any player wanting to experience the Songs of the Past DLC in The Witcher 3 will have to fork out for the additional content, which will be sold separately.

How Much is The Songs of The Past DLC?

The price of the Songs of The Past DLC for The Witcher 3 has not yet been revealed and may be a way off, considering the expansion currently has a broad 2027 release window.

However, the launch prices of the two previous pieces of DLC for The Witcher 3 could provide an indication of what to expect, as it’s likely to be a similar price point for Songs of the Past.

Hearts of Stone launched at a $9.99 price when it was released way back in 2015, while the Blood and Wine expansion, released in 2016, had a higher price of $19.99.

At a minimum, the Songs of the Past DLC is expected to cost $19.99, but the market has evolved in the decade since the last release, so it could command a higher price of somewhere between $29.99 and $39.99.
