Switch 2 players Can Claim a Free Copy of The Witcher 3 Thanks to a Loophole
A glitch lets Switch 2 owners redeem a copy of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered even if they don't own the original.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered was released on September 29 and has become the best-reviewed new release of the year. According to Polygon, owning a digital copy of The Witcher 3 is not necessary to get the remastered version for free on Switch 2.
IGN reports that a loophole allows Switch 2 players to claim a free digital copy of The Witcher 3 Remastered using a physical cartridge of the game for Switch, regardless of whether it's their own copy or not. This means players can rent or borrow a copy of the game to unlock unlimited access to the remastered version.
The remastered version includes several upgrades, such as improvements to combat, traversal, and movement, as well as revamped mount handling and enhanced monster behaviors, as reported by IGN.
