CD Projekt Red is currently rolling the promised Switch 2 patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered, addressing a number of issues in the game.
The short version
- The headline changes are adjustments to image sharpening and resolution to "improve visual clarity and fidelity" - changes that have resulted from players saying the game looked blurry to them, particularly when played in handheld mode.
- There are also, as we've seen in patches for other console versions of the game , changes to lighting in the game to reduce some of the brightness caused by the Remastered edition - one of the main areas of contention since its late September release.
- The full list of changes in patch 5.01 for The Witcher 3 Remastered are as follows.
What happened
The Witcher 3 Remastered update overhauls the 11-year-old role-playing game, visually modernising it as well as adding new animations and tweaking some gameplay systems, including skills and enemy behaviour. It prepares the way for the new Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past , due to arrive next year, and is an extraordinarily generous upgrade in its own right.
