On Switch 2, the loudest complaint so far is blurry image quality<\/strong> in handheld mode. That fix may take a little longer if you’re playing there, since Nintendo’s patch approval process can slow things down. Feedback highlighted by SwitchUp suggests CD Projekt Red knows about it.<\/p>\n\n

Marcin Momot says the team is working on a fix for overly aggressive bloom<\/strong> on all platforms, and that should arrive in the next update. PS5 players have also been reporting performance issues. On PC, some players are seeing frame-rate drops, especially with NVIDIA Hairworks and path tracing turned on.<\/p>\n\n

Pawel Sasko says the team is keeping an eye on incoming reports, and for now CD Projekt Red is telling PC players to disable NVIDIA Hairworks.<\/p>\n\n

If you’re hoping for a full remaster, not just a visual refresh, it’s still probably worth picking up. CD Projekt Red’s hotfix notes say that two hotfixes<\/strong> already released on some platforms address save and load problems, audio bugs, overly dark interiors, DLSS<\/a> issues on the PC Xbox Play Anywhere version, plus some more general fixes.<\/p>\n\n

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered is on sale now for $59.99<\/strong> or \u00a345.99 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2.<\/p>\n
