What is confirmed about Letten
Letten is the expansion’s new idyllic region and the homeland of Dandelion. Official copy places Geralt there alongside an old friend, with new quests, characters, secrets, and something sinister hidden below the surface. The press project page calls Songs of the Past a final chapter, but it does not publish a map, region size, quest count, or playtime estimate.

CD PROJEKT RED is co-developing Songs of the Past with Fool’s Theory. The press announcement describes Fool’s Theory as a team containing veterans who worked on The Witcher 3. That confirms collaboration, not a public division of responsibility for individual quests, systems, or platforms.

The May announcement named PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The August Witcher preview gives the more complete current list: GOG, Steam, Epic Games Store, Battle.net, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Use the later first-party list while keeping store-specific requirements unresolved.
Source: The Witcher current platform list (opens in a new tab)Price and free-upgrade status remain unknown
The official Witcher site explicitly labels Remastered as a free owner upgrade. It does not publish equivalent language for Songs of the Past, nor does it list a price. That means the safe answer is not “free” or “paid”; it is “not announced” until CD PROJEKT RED or a platform store publishes the commercial terms.
