The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt receives a PC hotfix for its Next-Gen update

On his Twitter account, Marcin Momot stated:

"A hotfix that should improve overall stability and performance of the game has just gone live on PC. Please make sure to update your version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and let us know how you're finding it."

The tweet also revealed the update size for the hotfix on two different PC platforms. Players who have the game on Steam will have more content to download than those who have it on GOG. Here are the sizes for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's latest hotfix:

• STEAM - 3GB update
• GOG - 1.9GB update

While the Next-Gen update brought a plethora of content to the table, the launch did not go smoothly due to the massive graphical overhaul.

Additionally, players are experiencing a glitch that was present during the game's initial release in 2016. They are having a tough time dealing with the Flying Roach, which causes Geralt's horse to gain superpowers and start flying across the map.

The title is also suffering from numerous bugs and technical issues that are coming in the way of enjoying the experience at its fullest. While CD Projekt RED is known for the great games that they release, they are also criticized for the unfinished and unoptimized content that they delivered in the past.

However, it is believed that most of the problems will be fixed with the latest update and the community will receive a more stable gameplay experience than before.

The Witcher 3's latest Next-Gen update brought some exquisite detailing to the game. With better visual fidelity and optimization for the PC, the PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series X/S, it provides better lighting conditions, improved graphics, textures, foliage, and more.

After its successful initial launch in 2016, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt became one of the best picks among RPG fans. Hence, with the release of the Next-Gen update, the developers have brought out the best for the players to enjoy once again.
