The Witcher 3 Remastered Switch 2 Patch Is Officially ‘On the Way’
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered has been updated with patch 5.01, though Switch 2 players have been left waiting. CD Projekt Red released the remastered version on September 29, with patch 5.01 following on October 9. The update includes significant improvements across performance optimization, bloom fixes, and expanded visual customization options.
However, the patch rolled out exclusively to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, leaving Switch 2 users without the critical fixes and improvements. This disparity prompted concern among the Switch 2 player base, particularly given the platform’s growing importance in CD Projekt Red’s release strategy. The developer has now provided clarification on the situation, announcing that a dedicated Switch 2 patch is officially “on the way.”
While specific details about the Switch 2 patch’s release timeline remain limited, CD Projekt Red’s commitment to bringing the update to Nintendo’s newest console suggests the studio recognizes the platform’s significance for the remaster. The acknowledgment comes amid continued focus on maintaining the quality and performance of the remastered edition across all target platforms. Switch 2 users can expect the patch to bring feature and performance parity with other versions once it arrives.
