The Witcher 3’s latest patch brings upgrades to Switch version

With the launch of The Witcher 3's next-gen update in late 2022, CD Projekt Red added new content inspired by the Netflix live-action series. This content has been available on most consoles and PCs since then, but Nintendo Switch users have been missing out. With this week's update, the Switch version of the game gets some welcome upgrades. 

The fact that The Witcher 3 runs on the Switch at all is pretty amazing. It is certainly the ‘worst' looking version of the game, but it is perfectly playable in full, on a handheld device. With Patch 4.04, Switch owners now get access to new side quests inspired by Netflix's The Witcher series. Beyond that, the Switch version now has the Full Combat Rebalance mod implemented, and cross-progression has been fixed, allowing users to more easily switch between PC or another console and the Switch version without losing progress.

The rest of the patch primarily focuses on platform-specific bug fixes. A number of quests have now been fixed across all platforms. Additionally, oin the PC side, an issue where GOG achievements don't unlock for the Complete Edition of the game has been fixed, and players will now properly be able to set an FPS cap while using DLSS 3 Frame Generation.

Patch 4.04 for The Witcher 3 is now available on all platforms. You can read the full patch notes, HERE.
