In late September, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released on PC and consoles. Soon, players began to complain on forums and in Steam reviews — they encountered various technical problems. Some problems, such as Geralt turning black and textures, could be solved by a simple driver update.
However, these are not the only problems found in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remaster. Now CD Projekt RED has released the first patch 5.00b on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as a fix for Xbox Play Anywhere on PC.
The current patch notes include only three points — the developers fixed the lighting and also improved the console versions:
- Fixed a number of lighting issues that made the game look too dark indoors.
- Made a number of other changes to bring the console versions in line with the PC version of the game.
- Fixed an issue where DLSS was unavailable in Xbox Play Anywhere on PC.
CD Projekt RED confirmed that the The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remaster will receive a separate hotfix for PC in the future:
We continue to investigate the issues you report through the technical support portal. Thank you for sending us details and logs. We are preparing a hotfix for PC that should address the save game issue.
