It's hard to think of a modern RPG that's more important and foundational than The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and its enduring legacy continues to prove that. While we might look back at a game like Far Cry 3 and identify it, even lovingly, as a product of its time, The Witcher 3 feels as timeless and relevant as ever, despite being over a decade old.
There are plenty of reasons for this, some more obvious than others. In the "more obvious" camp, we have The Witcher 3's undeniable quality. There are definitely RPGs out there with better combat, build-crafting, and exploration, but none that bring all of these elements together in such a consistently compelling way. There's The Witcher 3's writing as well, which is perhaps its single most revered aspect. The game's breadth, combined with some smart decisions from developer CD Projekt Red, has helped it achieve its unique flavor of longevity.
Released in 2015 on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt followed the predictable trajectory of a successful AAA project. That is, it vacuumed up praise and accolades for several months, keeping the momentum going with a pair of exceptional expansions:
Both of these are widely and regularly hailed as the greatest video game DLCs of all time, with Blood and Wine in particular standing out as an ambitious, delightfully surprising chapter in CDPR's legacy. As word of these DLCs grew, and as they began to grow more esteemed in hindsight courtesy of the low-quality bar set by many other AAA expansions, they became considered essential parts of the Witcher 3 experience, far more than merely optional content drops or mission packs.

Meaningful updates to The Witcher 3 slowed after that, but the game's reputation, wealth of content to explore, and frequent, significant discounts ensured it maintained its relevance. In 2019, it was released once again, this time for the Nintendo Switch. Hybrid and handheld gaming machines are more commonplace today, but seven years ago, this was far more significant. Running a game like The Witcher 3 on a handheld was a novel concept, and the port was all the more momentous for it.
Then, around the start of this current console generation, CD Projekt Red turned its attention from the once-floundering Cyberpunk 2077 back to The Witcher 3. Next-gen upgrades were issued to the 2015 game, including 60FPS and 4K on PS5 and Xbox Series platforms, numerous enhancements to visual effects, and quality-of-life tweaks that helped make the game even more modern and frictionless. Indeed, The Witcher 3 post-update is arguably one of the best-looking games on modern consoles.
