CD Projekt Red is working on fixes for The Witcher 3 Remastered following its recent launch, addressing issues like blurry visuals in Switch 2 portable mode and bloom effects across all platforms. The studio has already released hotfixes for other versions and expects patches to roll out in the coming weeks pending Nintendo's approval process.
CD Projekt Red released a patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered addressing complaints about over-brightness by making various lighting adjustments across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC versions. The patch also fixed a DLSS issue and made other adjustments for parity with the PC version, as the studio continues investigating player-reported issues.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered launched September 29 as a free upgrade for original owners on most platforms, but a loophole on Switch 2 allows players to claim free digital copies by inserting a physical cartridge into different consoles. The exploit enables anyone with access to a physical copy to obtain the remastered game without owning the original, and CD Projekt Red is unlikely to patch it since the upgrade is meant to be free.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered launched on PS5 with over 40 mods available, including minor gameplay tweaks and cosmetic adjustments like character model redesigns. Using mods disables Trophies, but the feature brings PC player creations to console for those seeking fresh content.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered is now available as a free upgrade, featuring enhanced visuals, improved combat, a reimagined skill system, cross-platform mod support, and native Nintendo Switch 2 support with path tracing on PC. The remaster includes both expansions and is accessible across GOG, Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered launches on Switch 2 on September 29, 2026, as a free upgrade for existing Switch owners but requires a separate 48.5GB download. New purchasers will pay £45.99/$59.99, while physical copy owners can claim the free upgrade on launch day.
CD Projekt Red is releasing The Witcher 3 Remastered as a 45GB update to the Complete Edition on September 29, 2026, with the same download size across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, though Nintendo Switch 2 requires 50GB. Existing save data and trophies will transfer to the remastered version, which replaces the current edition rather than existing as a standalone release.
