What to Play This Week: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered, Minecraft Dungeons II

This Week at a Glance

The Witcher 3 finally gets a proper Switch 2 release Tuesday, Minecraft Dungeons II drops the same day as an easy family co-op pick, and Ghost of Yotei gets a Complete Edition bundling everything Sucker Punch has added since launch. Nothing from the backlog beats Resident Evil 4 Remake this week, with the movie reboot still drawing crowds.

What We’d Play This Week

Top Tip of the Week: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered (5/5)

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered — PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, PC. Tuesday, and free if you already own it. A native Switch 2 version means the full game, both expansions included, finally runs properly on a Nintendo handheld — no more compromise version.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition (PS5) (opens in a new tab)

The same Complete Edition getting its native Switch 2 release this week — both expansions, ray-tracing and a 60fps mode already built in.

With the Family: Minecraft Dungeons II

Minecraft Dungeons II — PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, Switch, PC. Same day, day one on Game Pass. Four players, one screen, pick up a sword — no crafting menu to explain and no tutorial wall.

From the Backlog: Resident Evil 4 Remake (4.5/5)

Resident Evil 4 Remake — PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, PC. Spooky season is officially open, and Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil reboot is still packing theaters after last week’s 98% critics’ score. This is still the best way to actually play the series.

Also Releasing This Week

Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition

Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition releases Thursday, October 1 on PS5. A $69.99 bundle of the base game, the free Legends co-op mode, a new story expansion called Echoes of Sekigahara, and a single-player survival mode called Most Wanted. Existing owners get a $14.99 upgrade path instead of buying it twice.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve releases Friday, October 2 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The next entry in the arcade flight-combat series.

Every other date this month is on our release calendar — the full list of what lands where, with the picks we would actually spend an evening on at the top.

What should we play this week (September 28-October 4, 2026)?

Our top tip is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered, out Tuesday and free if you already own the game, with a native Switch 2 version finally running the full thing properly on a handheld. With the family, Minecraft Dungeons II lands the same day, four players on one screen with no crafting menu to explain. And from the backlog, Resident Evil 4 Remake is the pick, given the Resident Evil movie reboot still in theaters.

Do I need to buy The Witcher 3 again for the Switch 2 remaster?

No, if you already own it on the platform the remaster is arriving on, it’s a free update — CD Projekt Red has done this before with the last-gen-to-current-gen Complete Edition upgrade. Check your library before buying a second copy.

Is Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition worth it if I already finished the base game?

Only for the $14.99 upgrade path, not a fresh $69.99 purchase. It bundles the free Legends co-op mode, a new story expansion called Echoes of Sekigahara, and a single-player survival mode called Most Wanted — worth it if any of those interest you, skippable if you’re done with the game.

What's the best co-op pick for the family this week?

Minecraft Dungeons II. It’s a dungeon-crawler built for four players on one screen, day one on Game Pass, with none of the crafting-menu overhead that makes the main Minecraft game a harder sell for a quick session.
