Quick Report

CD Projekt Red has raised the minimum PC hardware requirements for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered, and the jump is substantial. The updated Battle.net listing calls for an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600, paired with 12 GB of RAM, 70 GB of SSD storage, and a GTX 1660 6 GB, RX 5500 XT, or Intel Arc A580 class GPU.

The recommended spec is also higher, moving to an Intel Core i7-8700K or Ryzen 5 3600X with 16 GB of RAM and an RTX 2060 Super, RX 6600 XT, or Arc B580. The remaster will still be accessible to many players, but the new floor sits much closer to modern midrange gaming hardware than the original game did.
