Overview
- CD Projekt Red said Monday it has shipped early hotfixes and is actively developing five priority updates focused on performance, visual tweaks, reward systems, Ukrainian console localization, and console voiceover audio.
- Many PlayStation 5 users have reported dropped frames, screen tearing, crashes and flicker that the studio singled out for further performance work.
- PC players encountered major slowdowns tied to ray tracing and NVIDIA HairWorks, a problem that caused a rise in negative Steam reviews despite the remaster's strong critic scores.
- The developer confirmed it will expand cross‑platform mod support with Mod.io and reiterated the remaster is intended to ready the game for paid DLC in 2027 and the studio's longer‑term Witcher 4 plans.
- CDPR has not given a firm date for the next comprehensive patch, though it says many of the listed fixes will arrive in upcoming updates and that additional fixes are planned.
