CD Projekt Red releases a hotfix for The Witcher 3 Remastered on PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro, aimed at improving stability and addressing crashing problems. The update, identified as hotfix 5.01b, is described by outlets as relatively small in size (about 500MB) and includes “various stability improvements” to support a more reliable experience. Reports note that the patch notes are limited to those stability changes.
At the same time, players on Switch 2 continue to wait for a separate patch. Escapist reports that the Switch 2 update has no announced release date, while Polygon and Eurogamer say CD Projekt Red has issued updates indicating the Switch 2 patch is still “on the way” or still due. Across coverage, the differing focus is on the already-rolling out PlayStation fixes versus the continued uncertainty for Switch 2 users.
