Final Days for Free Witcher 3 Access on PlayStation Plus
PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers face a critical deadline next week. CD Projekt Red’s acclaimed RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will exit the service’s game catalog on July 31, 2025, ending free access for subscribers. This removal marks your final opportunity to experience Geralt’s epic adventure through the Continent without purchasing the game outright.
The departing version includes only the base game – the acclaimed Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone expansions aren’t included. Should you wish to continue your journey after the deadline, the PlayStation Summer Sale currently offers an 80% discount on the Standard Edition, providing a cost-effective backup option.

How to Secure Your Copy
Navigate to the PlayStation Store’s “Last Chance to Play” section on your console before July 31. Locate The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and initiate the download immediately. With servers likely experiencing increased load as the deadline approaches, we recommend completing this process by July 28 to avoid technical issues. The download requires approximately 50GB of storage space.
Changing PlayStation Plus Lineup
This departure coincides with other major titles leaving the Extra tier in August, including Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, EA Sports UFC 5, and Wild Hearts. Offsetting these losses, Cyberpunk 2077 joined the catalog on July 9, offering subscribers another landmark RPG from CD Projekt Red (though without its Phantom Liberty expansion).

Why This Matters
A decade after its release, The Witcher 3 remains a benchmark for narrative-driven open-world design. Its sprawling 200+ hour campaign features morally complex choices with over 36 possible endings, character development that reshaped RPG standards, and a world that has earned more than 800 Game of the Year awards. For RPG enthusiasts, this represents one of PlayStation Plus Extra’s most significant departures to date.
