Patch 5.01 Improves Visuals and Performance in Witcher 3 Remastered

CD Projekt Red issued update 5.01 for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered on Oct. 9, targeting visual glitches and performance shortcomings reported by players on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The patch adjusts bloom, ray tracing, path tracing, character lighting and tone mapping, and adds options to disable bloom, modify light shafts and depth of field—features previously limited to PC. Optimizations also improve dynamic resolution scaling on PC and overall frame rates on consoles, delivering a more consistent visual experience.

The company indicated that a separate version of the update is being prepared for the Nintendo Switch 2. The changes affect all current owners of the remastered edition across the supported platforms.
