The Witcher 3 Remastered should run just fine on the Steam Deck, say devs

The Witcher 3 Remastered should run just fine on the Steam Deck, say devs "This is also the case for the Nintendo Switch 2." As is the case with a lot of older games (I regret to inform you that The Witcher 3 is 11 years old) that get the remaster treatment, there's been some anxiety over whether The Witcher 3 Remastered will run properly on the Steam Deck—especially given it'll be a free update. It's always frustrating when some new glossy graphics pack messes with your hardware. Well, fear not—speaking to PC Gamer's Joshua Wolens ahead of Gamescom 2026, CD Projekt Red's executive producer of external projects Jakub Kutrzuba has told us that The Witcher 3 Remastered will run just as well on your Steam Deck, thanks to general optimisation improvements with the new rendering engine.
