The Witcher 3 Remastered: Issues and Upcoming Fixes for Switch 2 Users

CD Projekt Red (CDPR) has recently launched The Witcher 3 Remastered for Nintendo Switch 2, a version that has garnered significant attention. While the remaster is playable, players have reported a number of issues across various platforms.

Identified Issues and Developer Response

Players on the Nintendo Switch version have noted problems, particularly concerning visual clarity in handheld mode, which has been described as “blurry.” CDPR is aware of these issues and is actively working on updates to address them.

According to communication from YouTube channel SwitchUp, CDPR has acknowledged the reports and is in the process of developing fixes. However, players have been advised that immediate solutions should not be expected, as updates must undergo a thorough approval process.

“It’s not crisp in handheld, it looks nice though – very vibrant, it’s blurry, but they’ll patch it, I am speaking with CDPR,” relayed a representative from SwitchUp.

Planned Updates and Community Engagement

CDPR’s global community director, Marcin Momot, has indicated that the team is addressing “bloom effect” issues across all platforms. The company anticipates implementing these changes in upcoming updates, although specific timelines remain unconfirmed:

CDPR: “We are looking into addressing the Bloom effect across all platforms. We’re hoping to have the changes ready for the next update but no details yet. We’ll share more as soon as we can.”

Pawel Sasko, a quest designer at CDPR, reiterated this commitment in a recent statement regarding community feedback:

Pawel Sasko: “My dear witchers, we have shipped two hotfixes for The Witcher 3 Remastered and there is more in the works, including bloom effect. Our teams are monitoring your reports diligently and work is ongoing. You are our priority.”

While the Switch 2 version is being refined, CDPR has already rolled out patches for other platforms. These updates have resolved various issues, including:

• Save and load problems
• Audio issues
• Adjustments to in-game lighting
• Other minor bug fixes
