Witcher 3- next gen update going to Origin by EA?

+
Same problem, here. Tried reaching out to CD project and EA so far no help.... Pls help!?
 
I have same issue, in the EA forum I received the following answer from a mod:

At the moment we have no news about any (or not) upgrades! Also keep an eye on our official channels in this regard (including these Forums), as if there is any news, we will publish it
 
I just contacted EA Origin support... Short version, I have to purchase the game again from Steam.
When I was looking for support, Witcher 3 is no longer in the game list to choose from.

Here is the live chat (date is dd/mm/yy):

How may I assist you?
(14/12/2022, 11:11:45): it is just a quick question...
(14/12/2022, 11:12:06): Yesterday a new update was released for the game Witcher 3
Sahil (14/12/2022, 11:12:11): Sure.
(14/12/2022, 11:12:26): do you know when it is going to be released on Origin???
Sahil (14/12/2022, 11:14:28): Please allow me a minute to check the details.
(14/12/2022, 11:14:49): sure...
Sahil (14/12/2022, 11:15:59): Thanks for sharing.
Sahil (14/12/2022, 11:16:35): I want to inform you that currently we don't have any updated regarding the release of the game on our Store.
(14/12/2022, 11:17:46): so, If I want to play the new update I have to purchase the game again on Steam???
Sahil (14/12/2022, 11:18:06): Yes, you can purchase the game from there.
Sahil (14/12/2022, 11:19:30): Sadly, I won't be able to provide you any details as EA is not the official publisher of the game.
Sahil (14/12/2022, 11:19:37): Is there anything else you may want me to help you with?
(14/12/2022, 11:20:22): no, I think that would be all...
(14/12/2022, 11:20:29): Thanks for the information
 
So I dealt with EA customer support regarding the problem with the non-existent next gen update on origin/EA and the first sentence from customer support was simply ''There should be a free update? Here with us?'' and that's when I knew that EA hadn't done anything with CD Projekt RED regarding the Next Gen update to implement it on the Origin App or EA App. The end of the song I completely uninstalled the Origin version and got the Complete Edition from gog for 10 euros.
 
Great next gen update: if you want to play, buy the game again. It doesn't matter that you previously bought it at full price and completely legally.

This is BS. I bought the game on origin at release and I've played 170 hours. Bought every DLC and now they wont update the game? Please CD Red do something?
 
Time to uninstall it on Origin.

The Steam Complete Edition is $49.99, not going to spend that much to get it!

At this time it is only $9.99 on GOG, a more reasonable amount.
 
Same here, bought the game full price in 2015 Origin, CD Project could you please see with EA if they can release the update?
Thanks
 
This. From what I know, the Next-Gen update has been released on Steam and GOG, but those of us who bought the game on Origin back in the day (mistakenly), have yet to actually get the update. I say this even after uninstalling, to then install the game again. Still on version 1.31.

Can CDPR do anything about this?
 
I'm definitely not paying again. I don't care if it's only $9.99. It's the principle of the matter

Agreed. I'm a huge witcher fan, played thru all three of them with every DLC available. I'm not made of money and I already bought the product(s) once and I really expect the same treatment as other customers. This need to be fixed. Please post the link to this thread on the games twitter channel and other social media channels they have so we may be noticed!

Same problem. I have The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY in Origin. How do I get the 4.0 update in Origin or maybe get the copy of game on the GOG. Thanks!
 
Several log off and on plus verifying the integrity suddenly gave me a 38GB patch. Doesn't say what it is, but i suspect/hope it is 4.0. PC version on GOG.
 
Hey y'all. I found someone who seems to have made their Origin version of TW3 update to 4.0 via GOG by syncing Origin with GOG and installing that way. I haven't been able to do it myself yet and I'm waiting for that person to get back to me to help. Y'all could try and see if you can figure it out, and then let the rest of us know. I'll update once I know more.
