The Witcher 3 Remastered Gets Switch 2-Specific Update, CDPR Confirms

CDPR has rolled out a new patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, while confirming a dedicated Switch 2 update is in the works to improve visuals.
If you're diving back into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered on Nintendo Switch 2, CD Projekt Red has some good news for you. The studio just confirmed it's working on a dedicated update for the Switch 2 version, and it's all about making the game look sharper and run closer to its counterparts on other platforms.
The news comes alongside a fresh patch that's already rolling out for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC — including the Xbox Play Anywhere version. So if you're playing on those platforms, you might want to fire up your console or PC and grab the download.
According to CDPR, the main goal of this patch is to close the gap between all the different versions of the game. That means the Switch 2 version will eventually sync up with the global changes that have already hit other platforms. It's a pretty clear sign that the studio wants every Witcher fan to get a consistent experience, no matter where they play.
But the Switch 2 update isn't just about parity. CDPR specifically mentioned that it will also improve some Switch 2-specific elements, like image clarity and sharpness. So expect a crisper, more detailed look for Geralt's adventure on Nintendo's new hardware. More details are promised in the coming days, so keep an eye out.
For those who need a quick refresher, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered is the latest version of CDPR's beloved RPG, built on Slavic mythology and following the monster-hunting witcher Geralt. It officially launched on September 29, 2026, and is available on PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S.
It's been a busy stretch for the game, and this new patch shows CDPR is still committed to polishing the experience. Whether you're slaying monsters on a high-end rig or taking the hunt on the go with Switch 2, it sounds like the team wants your version to feel as good as it can.
So, are you planning to jump back into The Witcher 3 on Switch 2 once this update drops? Or are you sticking with PC or console? Let us know in the comments!
