Witcher 3 Remastered Receives Quick Hotfix Targeting Community Lighting Concerns
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
CD Projekt Red has released an update for The Witcher 3 Remastered on current gen consoles and PC to address player complaints about overly bright lighting and dark interiors.
CD Projekt Red has deployed a fresh update for the recently launched Witcher 3 Remastered across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and the PC Xbox Play Anywhere version. According to reporting by Eurogamer, the patch directly addresses widespread player feedback regarding the game's new visual presentation. Since the remaster dropped earlier in the week, community spaces and social feeds have been filled with debates over whether certain lighting passes made the game look overly bright or washed out.
The new patch tackles these visual complaints head-on by making several lighting adjustments, including fixes for interiors that previously appeared much too dark. The update also resolves a bug that kept DLSS unavailable on the PC Xbox Play Anywhere version, alongside general adjustments to bring parity closer to the core PC release. While console players have been grappling with forced visual settings like Bloom, this quick turnaround shows the studio is actively listening to community channels and technical support tickets.
Beyond these visual tweaks, CD Projekt Red confirmed it is already prepping a separate hotfix to squash a PC save game issue. This entire remaster rollout is part of a massive ongoing push for the modern era, setting the stage for a brand new expansion titled Songs of the Past slated for next year. For a free upgrade that breathes new life into a modern classic, a responsive development cycle goes a long way in keeping players invested in the journey.
