CD Projekt Red will deliver an image-quality update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2, the studio confirmed in its patch 5.01 notes.
The announcement follows player reports of occasional blurriness in handheld mode and aggressive sharpening from some graphical filters, issues that surfaced after the remastered release.
Background and platform history
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt originally launched in 2015 and established CD Projekt Red as a leading RPG developer.
The game has since been ported to multiple platforms, including a Nintendo Switch edition released in October 2019.
The remastered edition and next-gen updates have aimed to bring visual and technical parity across PC and current consoles; now the developer is turning attention to platform-specific tweaks for the newer Nintendo hardware.
What CD Projekt Red said (rewritten)
In its latest patch notes, CD Projekt Red wrote that it is “working on an update for the Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered” that will bring the Switch 2 release closer in parity to other platforms.
The studio added that the forthcoming update will specifically target Switch 2-related concerns such as image clarity and sharpness, and that players should expect additional details in the days after the 5.01 log.
Patch 5.01 and ongoing fixes
Patch 5.01 itself bundled a series of smaller adjustments and micro-fixes many players may not have noticed, but the developer used the log’s closing lines to acknowledge Switch 2 visual feedback and promise follow-up work.
That admission confirms CD Projekt Red is monitoring platform-specific performance and image-quality complaints from the community.
Why it matters to Switch players
For handheld-focused players, image clarity and consistent filter behavior can strongly affect perceived quality.
Even with the dramatic visual leap from the original Switch port to the remastered edition, artifacts like blurring or over-sharpening undermine the experience.
CD Projekt Red’s commitment to a targeted Switch 2 update signals continued post-launch support and alignment with the studio’s broader approach to cross-platform parity.
Next steps
Players should watch CD Projekt Red’s official channels—patch notes, social feeds, and the eShop announcement area—for specific timing and patch details.
The studio’s public statement alongside patch 5.01 confirms more technical notes are forthcoming, and that the team is actively addressing Switch 2-specific image issues.
