The Witcher 3 Remastered's Next Patch Targets PS5 Performance, Bloom and a Bigger Console Mod Library via Mod.io
CD Projekt Red's next update promises performance work, visual adjustments, console audio fixes and more, but its mod plans might be the biggest news of all
The Witcher 3 remaster just got another update from CD Projekt Red, and this next patch should fix quite a bit, from performance on PS5 to a bloom fix across all platforms. But there is one announcement at the end that might be bigger than all of the fixes combined: CD Projekt Red is working on bringing more mods across all platforms together with Mod.io.
CD Projekt Red is working on further performance improvements for The Witcher 3, particularly on PS5
First up, performance. CD Projekt Red said that it is working on further performance improvements, particularly on PS5. So if you have been dealing with frame drops on PlayStation, "help is on the way."
The studio is also making further visual adjustments. That lines up with what we heard last week, when a bloom fix across all platforms was confirmed for the next update, which honestly is one of the biggest updates that people have been waiting on.
On top of that, CD Projekt Red is fixing voiceover audio issues on consoles and making some of the localization available in more regions on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.
Mod.io support means a much bigger mod library for The Witcher 3 on consoles
Now for the big one. CD Projekt Red is working on bringing more mods across all platforms together with Mod.io, which means that consoles are getting a much bigger mod library. That alone is going to keep people playing this game for years.
The studio also said that it is investigating other reported issues, so players should keep sending their reports through.
HairWorks fixes and Switch 2 exclusive updates are also part of the next Witcher 3 patch
The list does not stop there. CD Projekt Red is going to be fixing issues with HairWorks, and there are some Switch 2 exclusive updates and much more on the way. So yes, "the next update should be pretty significant."
That leaves one question: what kind of Witcher player are you? Are you going to wait for the next patch to fix everything, or are you already 50 hours deep?
