Some might add a crucial new mechanic, some might tell independent stories, while others might fix key criticisms of the base game. And with this feature, we will look at 15 such examples of expansions that you need to check out.

The Witcher 3 – Hearts Of Stone

The Witcher 3 is a massive game that’s brimming with quality content that would keep one engaged for hours on end, but playing the base game alone isn’t the complete experience. Both of the game’s post-launch expansions including Hearts of Stone are equally good in their own right, but we are going with the latter of the DLCs for this list simply because of the fantastic story. Set in an entirely new section of the map called No Man’s Land, Hearts of Stone is all about Geralt trying to defeat the immortal Olgierd von Everec. Hearts of Stone also introduces new Monsters, side quests, and new combat mechanics like Runewords which come together to make this expansion a surprisingly fresh experience that’s unmissable for fans of The Witcher.

It will include native 60 frames per second support. Check out the current-gen version in action below.

Outer Wilds is currently available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The story sees the player as an explorer, lifting off from his home planet to explore the solar system. When the sun goes supernova, the player ends up back on their planet, essentially trapped in a time loop. What’s causing the loop and how to break free from it forms the core mystery, though there are plenty of other amazing discoveries to be made.

It’s worth noting that those who the PS4 and Xbox One versions can upgrade to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S for free. As for the Nintendo Switch version, Mobius Digital confirmed on Twitter that it was still in development. “It’s a heavy undertaking, and well, you know how time dilation gets around dense gravitational fields. Rest assured it’s still being worked on, and we’ll let you know when we have something exciting to share.”

The beloved time loop space exploration title is widely regarded as one of the best and most inventive games in recent memory, and those who play it can’t help but want for more. And more is exactly what the developer’s delivered.

The expansion, Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye, has launched now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. This new chunk of content will once again involve cosmic mysteries and questions, with a central story involving a strange and inexplicable satellite photo, as well as a mysterious new museum exhibit, of all things- and if it’s anywhere close to being as good as the base game, then we’re all in for a treat. Check out its launch trailer below.

Outer Wilds is, of course, also available on the Nintendo Switch now, but there’s no word yet on when (or if) this expansion will come to Nintendo’s hybrid.

It’s actually an expansion that’s full of strange new sights and mysteries. Check out the reveal trailer below to see some of the new content in store.

The story seems to concern a new exhibit that’s popped up in the museum and prompts one last journey. The player will seemingly uncover the solar system’s “deepest secret” but it seems there will be consequences for the same. The sun being blocked and a mysterious location with hidden depths and technology are teased in the new trailer.

Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye will be releasing on September 28th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The base game is also coming to Nintendo Switch this Summer, though a release date hasn’t been provided. Stay tuned for updates in the coming days.
