CD Projekt Red confirmed that a forthcoming patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered on Nintendo Switch 2 will focus on "image clarity and sharpness" among other improvements, according to statements on gonintendo.com.

What happened

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered launched on Switch 2 at the end of September 2026 as a free upgrade for existing owners. Players reported mixed reactions to the visual quality on the new hardware. In response, CD Projekt Red announced a patch that will specifically address image clarity and sharpness, as part of a broader update whose notes are available on the developer’s site.

What the reports add

Gonintendo’s first article notes that the patch will tackle image clarity and sharpness, and that the changes will be included in a larger update whose full notes are linked. The second gonintendo piece adds that CD Projekt Red’s Oleg Shatulo described the Switch 2 port as the "next natural step" after the Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition on the same platform, and that the remaster includes a host of visual, performance, combat, and skill‑system upgrades, as well as cross‑platform mod support.

What was said

Oleg Shatulo, a spokesperson for CD Projekt Red, told RPG Site that bringing The Witcher 3 to Switch 2 felt like a "natural next step" after the company’s work on Cyberpunk 2077, as reported by gonintendo.com.

How it came about

The Switch 2 remaster was first announced in September 2026, with CD Projekt Red highlighting enhanced graphics, a reworked skill system, and free upgrades for existing owners (Felo’s September 29 coverage). The launch was positioned as part of a broader strategy to bring the studio’s flagship titles to Nintendo’s latest hardware, a theme also explored in Felo’s September 23 graphics showdown article. The current patch follows player feedback on image quality and continues the developer’s pattern of post‑launch support.
