We've just released a hotfix to the Playtest version of The Witcher 3 REDkit. Here's the list of changes:
  • Fixed an issue where scripts would not be compiled on startup under certain conditions.
  • Fixed an issue where mods published to Steam Workshop had an incorrect folder structure (it is no longer needed to apply the workaround we posted earlier).
  • Added some checks to detect problematic characters in file names.
  • Introduced some quality of life improvements for the Asset Browser:
    • better search fields,
    • better grid and tile view options,
    • additional filters.

We're currently working on fixing an issue where mods are placed into incorrect directory. As we're working on patching it, here's how to fix it manually:
  • subscribe to the mod normally
  • go to 'SteamLibrary/Steamapps/workshop/content/<NUMBER>'
  • move everything inside 'mods\mod<NAME>\content' to a newly created content folder if it does not exist
  • delete everything else (the "mods" and "dlc" folder if applicable) inside the steam workshop item folder

If you can't wait to get your hands on the editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we have some great news for you! Starting today you can sign up to try it out yourself in the official Playtest on Steam.

The Witcher 3 REDkit is a comprehensive modding tool for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt we're currently developing. It is based on the same set of tools that were used by our developers to create the game and should allow for nearly limitless freedom in modding it. REDkit will be available free of charge for all owners of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PC and it's scheduled to release later this year.

In order to sign up, simply navigate to the store page of The Witcher 3 REDkit on Steam and request access.

Playtest access will be distributed in batches. After receiving access "The Witcher 3 REDkit Playtest" will appear in your Steam Library. Remember that the editor will require The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt game files in order to work properly, so make sure you have it installed too!

Playtest is available on Steam only. Don't worry though, you can still test it, because Playtest will work on game files regardless whether you bought it on Steam or not. Once The Witcher 3 REDkit is ready, we plan to release it on GOG and Epic Games Store too!

We hope that you'll have a great time testing and everything will be going smoothly for you, but please keep in mind that you'll be running a beta version of the tool and might encounter some issues. Should you run into something serious trouble, you can report it to us using a dedicated form on our Tech Support website: http://thewitcher.ly/REDkit_report

Once you get the chance to try the tool out, we invite you to share your feedback with us — you’ll find a built-in button in REDkit taking you to a survey, but you can also share your thoughts on:
We can't wait to hear what you think about it!

But wait... That's not everything you can help us test!

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Steam Workshop Beta

Alongside the modding tools we're also working on enabling the Steam Workshop for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. You can help us check the update by participating in the dedicated Beta.

WARNING: Before participating, make sure to back up your saves!

Steam Workshop Beta testing and The Witcher 3 REDkit Playtest are related to each other, but completely separate. You don't need to participate in both and you can try out the Beta without signing up for Playtest, just as well as you can run Playtest while not participating in Beta.

In order to enable access to the Steam Workshop of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, you'll need to join a dedicated group on Steam.

Once you're a part of it, all you need to do is find The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in your Steam Library, go to Properties > Betas and select "workshop_test" from the drop-down list. Once this is done, the game should update automatically.

Have fun!

That also means that the new minimum macOS requirement is now macOS 11.0. Read more about the requirement update here.

We’re thrilled to announce that we're working on a mod editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt!

This editor is a reworked version of the REDengine 3 editor that we used to create the game — it will allow you to create your own experiences in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt by making something completely new or editing existing quests and content.

The editor will be available for free for all owners of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PC. We're planning to make it happen in 2024.

We're sure you'd love to know more, but for now we ask for your patience as we'll have more to share next year.

We are happy to announce that The Witcher: Enhanced Edition and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will soon have Apple silicon M1, M2, and macOS Ventura support.

However, we will be discontinuing support for OS X 10.7.5, OS X 10.8.2, macOS 10.15, and changing the new minimum macOS requirement to macOS 11.0. This is because the technology we are using, the JIT-compatible memory management and Apple's Game Controller framework, require a minimum version of macOS 11.0. These updates are necessary to provide support to Apple silicon chips.

We want to ensure that players have time to prepare for these changes. As such, we are giving a 30-day notice before we discontinue support for these specific operating systems.

To continue playing on macOS lower than 11.0, keep the old version of the game. To do it on Steam and GOG, disable automatic updates. On AppStore no action is necessary. On all platforms, if the game is uninstalled, the latest update will be the only one available to install. However, on GOG rolling back to an earlier version is possible.

Patch 4.03 for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is being rolled out and will soon be available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox! This update contains various gameplay and quest fixes.

We're hard at work to bring the patch to Nintendo Switch players as soon as possible and we're hoping to have it out in the following months. Thank you for your patience!

Speaking of Switcher, here's a heads-up for Nintendo Switch players: the previous save file integration with Steam and GOG clouds, introduced in patch 3.6, will be replaced and upgraded in the upcoming patch with the new Cross Progression system that has been introduced on other platforms with patch 4.00. This is to align with our other games and to bring you a unified experience across all platforms. The new system is going to require a GOG account regardless of your PC platform.

Below, you'll find a list of the most notable changes for update 4.03.

PC-SPECIFIC
  • Fixed an issue with ray-traced vegetation shadows “popping”, depending on Geralt’s proximity and angle.
  • Fixed an issue where repeatedly disabling and enabling ray-traced reflections and shadows could cause black shadows to appear at the edge of objects.
  • Addressed the issue where the DirectX 11 version of the game could crash on launch or after loading a save on certain AMD GPUs.
  • Added support for Intel Xe Super Sampling, an upscaling technology that uses machine learning to improve performance and image quality.
  • Fixed some lighting issues with Screen Space Reflections when ray-traced global illumination is off.
  • Performance improvements to ray-traced global illumination and ray-traced reflections.
  • Fixed an issue where purple splashes could appear on the screen when riding Roach through puddles of water.
CONSOLE-SPECIFIC
  • The Cross Progression pop-up will now properly display which account is logged in.
  • Fixed an issue where dark stripes or shadows appeared on Geralt in the inventory screen when Performance Mode was enabled on PlayStation 5.
  • Fixed an issue where the game could briefly freeze or stutter when autosaving on next-gen consoles.
  • Addressed the issue of performance drops on next-gen consoles while using Witcher Senses in Beauclair and Novigrad.
VISUAL - PC and Next-Gen Exclusive
  • Fixed an issue where a grid of light spots could appear on the ground and walls in certain weather conditions with Ray Tracing enabled.
  • Spider webs will no longer change color when moving the camera with Ray Tracing enabled.
  • Fixed an issue where some textures on characters during cutscenes would appear as not fully rendered.
  • Through Time and Space - Fixed an issue where the mist in the Poisoned Valley was pink instead of white.
QUESTS & GAMEPLAY - PC and Next-Gen Exclusives
  • Added the community-made mod Next Gen Script Fixes by Sergeanur.
QUESTS & GAMEPLAY - Available on all platforms
  • In the Eternal Fire's Shadow - The ambient music from the quest will no longer continue playing after completion. For players who have already experienced this issue, it may be necessary to enter the Novigrad or Oxenfurt sewers again to resolve it.
  • Added an option to auto-apply oils in combat.
  • With the exception of potions and decoctions, it's now impossible for Geralt to eat or drink underwater. // While the team agreed it might be possible to drink liquids from a corked flask, consuming pints of ale or grilled meats underwater is too much of a stretch.
Please note: these are only the most notable changes. The patch contains other minor fixes that didn't make it into this list.
