The Witcher has collected two awards at the 2026 Golden Joysticks, covering both the series’ future and its latest return to familiar territory. The Witcher 4 won Most Wanted Game, while The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered received Best Remake/Remaster at the London ceremony on 11 November.
CD PROJEKT RED says the series won both categories in which it was nominated. That is a tidy evening’s work for a franchise where an ordinary day usually involves negotiating with somebody who has significantly too many teeth.
The Most Wanted award recognises anticipation for The Witcher 4, the next mainline entry and the beginning of a new saga led by Ciri. It is an upcoming single-player, open-world RPG, so this particular trophy is about what players are looking forward to rather than a verdict on a released game.
The other award went to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered, which arrived as a free upgrade in September. Its changes cover visuals, performance and gameplay, bringing another round of improvements to Geralt’s adventure.
Production director Małgorzata Mitręga accepted The Witcher 4’s award, while executive producer of external projects Jakub Kutrzuba accepted the remaster’s trophy. Mitręga also presented the award for Best Game Expansion during the ceremony.
For players following the series, the result puts its two current talking points neatly side by side: renewed attention for Geralt’s journey and considerable interest in where Ciri goes next. It does not settle how the new adventure will turn out, but it does confirm that the appetite for another trip into this world is very much intact.
