Witcher 3 Remastered Tops 2026 Metacritic With 94
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered is 2026's highest-rated new release on Metacritic with a 94 Metascore, based on eight PC reviews.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered has become the highest-rated new release of 2026 on Metacritic, holding a Metascore of 94. That score is based on eight reviews, all of the PC version.
The PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2 versions do not yet have official Metascores because they have too few reviews. The reviews that are available for those platforms score in the 9-10 range.
Many publications opted not to give The Witcher 3 Remastered a full review, which helps explain the small review count behind the 94.
On most platforms, the remaster is a free upgrade for owners of previous versions. On Steam, it replaces the original game's store listing and library entry rather than appearing as a separate listing.
In 2025, the best-reviewed game was the Switch 2 edition of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The original The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time holds Metacritic's all-time highest score of 99, and a remake of Ocarina of Time is expected in about a month. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt originally released 11 years ago.
