CD Projekt Promises 'The Witcher 3' Remaster Fixes as Some Players Struggle

PS5 players have been running into performance issues with The Witcher 3 Remastered

While The Witcher is gearing up for a big few years ahead, it seems to have already hit a few speed bumps. CD Projekt Red recently released a remastered version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but many players are running into performance issues, particularly on PlayStation 5. On Reddit, players have reported dropped frames, screen tearing, audio issues, crashes, and environmental flickering.

According to Push Square, these problems seem to be inconsistent. Some users can play the game without problems, while others are experiencing so many crashes that the game is borderline unplayable.

On Windows PC, things have been a bit better, though there have still been some hiccups. Many players ran into major performance issues caused by Ray Tracing and Nvidia Hairworks, with some angry that their rigs could no longer run the game at a smooth framerate. As a result, negative Steam reviews spiked; the game's recent reviews are at 79% positive compared to its overall average of 96%. Still, this didn’t stop the remaster from hitting a concurrent player spike of nearly 140,000 users on Steam alone. CD Projekt rolled out a pair of patches shortly after launch day to address graphical issues, save file problems, and audio bugs.

Thankfully, it seems that CD Projekt intends to address the problems on PS5 to bring this version more in line with PC. On X , the company listed many of the problems it plans to address, with performance issues, “particularly on PS5,” at the top.
