CD Projekt Red says further performance, visual and audio fixes planned for Witcher 3 Remastered
The developer outlined upcoming updates targeting PS5 performance, visual tweaks and console voiceover issues, while also expanding mod support and investigating additional reports.
CD Projekt Red announced that work on the recently launched Witcher 3 Remastered edition continues. In a post on X, the studio said it is focusing on "further performance improvements, particularly on PS5," "further visual adjustments" and "voiceover audio fixes on consoles," and aims to include many of these changes in the next update. The company also asked players to keep submitting bug reports through a provided link.
The publisher added that it is collaborating with mod.io to bring more mods to all platforms, building on the cross-platform mod support introduced with the remaster.
The announcement follows a series of technical issues reported by players shortly after the remaster’s release, including complaints that the game appears brighter than previous versions. CD Projekt Red responded with lighting-related hotfixes but has not offered further comment on those concerns.
Community reaction has been mixed. Some users expressed frustration that the studio is prioritising Twitch Drops and a Ukrainian localisation update while they perceive unresolved game-breaking bugs. Others have requested the return of the next-gen PS5 version, noting that rolling back to an earlier build is possible on PC but not on consoles.
The remastered version features rebuilt textures, environments, animations and skill systems, representing a major overhaul of the 2015 title. While the free update adds visual fidelity, it also raises the game's minimum hardware requirements, which may affect older systems.
