Key information
CD Projekt has released patch 5.01 for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered, addressing several technical and visual concerns reported by players. This update follows recent developer efforts to resolve performance issues on PC and frame rate drops on PlayStation 5.
A primary focus of the update is the game's bloom effect, which players previously criticized as being overly prominent and capable of obscuring other graphical enhancements. While PC users could previously disable this post-processing effect, the new patch extends this functionality to consoles.
Beyond bloom adjustments, the update introduces new depth of field options and performance optimizations for consoles, including a fix for an incorrect frame rate limit on PlayStation 5. General improvements across all platforms now include refinements to tone mapping, character lighting, ray tracing, and path tracing.
Looking ahead, CD Projekt is developing an update for the Nintendo Switch 2 version. This future release aims to align the platform with other versions by incorporating global changes and specific optimizations to improve image clarity and sharpness.
