Hotfix 1.11 is available on PC, consoles and Stadia!
This update addresses two issues that appeared after Patch 1.1:
Updated on February 4th, 2021
Starting today (January 28th) gamers around the world are able to buy The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for Nintendo Switch either as a Complete Edition containing the base game, both expansions and all free DLCs, or separately.
We decided to change the way we sell the game to allow everyone more flexibility. For the time being both versions will be available in Nintendo eShop but ultimately the Complete Edition will be withdrawn and replaced with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Hearts of Stone and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Blood and Wine as separate products.
Don’t worry, even after the Complete Edition is removed from eShop, you will be able to get the full set for the same price as before — in the near future we'll introduce a bundle containing all products. In addition, everyone who already owns the Complete Edition will keep it, and, to ensure that no one buys the game for the second time by accident, every owner of the digital version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition will receive a 100% discount on the base game and expansions in Nintendo eShop. The discount will be active in all regions from January 28th, 2021, with the exception of South & North Americas, where the discount will start working on February 7th, 2021.
Here’s a short FAQ:
Q: Will cross saves between Switch and PC still work?
A: Yes, cross saves will continue to work. Keep in mind that you need to have the same content both on the Switch and PC version for your saves to work.
For example, if you have the Game of the Year edition on PC you'll need to have the base game, expansions, and all free DLCs on Switch to fully use the cross saving feature. Likewise, you won't be able to use saves from the Game of the Year edition for PC if you only have the base game on Switch.
Q: What will happen to my physical version?
A: Players who purchased the Complete Edition game card will be able to play their version of the game just like before.
Q: If I delete the Complete Edition, will I still be able to download it again after it leaves the store?
A: Yes, if you already own the Complete Edition and decide to delete it, you'll be able to re-download the game even after it’s removed from the Nintendo eShop.
Q: Will my save files from the Complete Edition work on the base game and expansions?
A: Not directly, but you can make them work by first transferring them from Switch to PC and then back to Nintendo Switch.

We've prepared official tools and resources that will help you modify and create your own experiences in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. You can find them here: https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/modding-support
Patch 1.1 for Cyberpunk 2077 is now available on PC, consoles and Stadia!
In this update we focused on various stability improvements, which you can find outlined in the patch notes below. We will continue this work in patch 1.2 and other upcoming updates. At the same time we will keep fixing the bugs you encounter and listening to your feedback on how to improve the overall game experience.
Stability
Various stability improvements including:
- Memory usage improvements in various systems within the game: characters, interactions, navigation, in-game videos (news, tv, etc.), foliage, laser effects, minimap, devices, AI, street traffic, environmental damage system, GPU-related, and more.
- Various crash fixes (related to, among others, loading saves, game opening/closing and Point of No Return).
- Fixed an issue where calls from Delamain would end immediately and seem like they cannot be picked up in Epistrophy.
- Fixed an issue where players would not receive calls from Delamain when approaching relevant vehicles in Epistrophy.
- Fixed an issue where the objective could get stuck on "Answer the call from Mr. Hands" in M'ap Tann Pèlen.
- Fixed an issue where Judy could teleport underground in Pyramid Song.
- Fixed an issue where it would be impossible to talk to Zen Master in Poem of The Atoms.
- Fixed an issue where Takemura wouldn't call in Down on the Street.
- Fixed an issue where Jackie could disappear in The Pickup.
- Fixed an issue where it could be impossible to get out of the car in The Beast in Me: The Big Race.
- Fixed an issue where players could stop receiving calls and messages after moving too far away from A Day In The Life area.
- Fixed an issue where opening the package wouldn't update Space Oddity.
- Retro-fixed the saves affected by a rare issue where speaking to Judy in Automatic Love would be impossible due to an invisible wall. The underlying issue is under investigation.
- Fixed an issue that prevented players from collecting the reward in Gig: Freedom of the Press. The quest will auto-complete for those who could not collect the reward previously, and the reward will be provided automatically.
- Fixed an issue where Delamain would remain silent throughout Epistrophy if the player initially refused to help him.
- Fixed an issue where prompt for exiting braindance could be missing.
- Removed an invalid item from loot.
- Fixed an issue where a grenade's trajectory could be displayed in photo mode.
- Fixed particles' hue appearing pink when viewed close up.
- Fixed cars spawning incorrectly in Reported Crime: Welcome to Night City.
- Fixed an issue where completing one of the assaults in progress in Santo Domingo would sometimes not contribute towards progression for The Jungle achievement, preventing its completion.
- Addressed the issue responsible for saves getting oversized (related to the modifier indicating if the item is crafted), and trimmed the excess size from already existing saves (note: this won’t fix PC save files corrupted before 1.06 update).
- Fixed an issue where input could stop registering upon opening the weapon wheel and performing an action.
- Fixed an issue where the "Continue" button in the Main Menu could load an end game save.
- Performance optimization of crowds on PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation 5.
- Various crash fixes on PlayStation 4.
- Improved memory usage for character creation, mirrors, scanning, camera remote control, menus (inventory, map) on Xbox One, Xbox One X and Xbox One S.
- It will now be possible to obtain achievements while in Steam offline mode. Note: Offline mode needs to be enabled before starting the game. This change does not work retroactively.
- Addressed the game startup crashes related to loading cache on NVIDIA graphics cards.
- Concert audio should no longer be inaudible in Never Fade Away.
- Fixed corrupted textures on several melee weapons.
- Tweaked default deadzone settings to be more responsive. Note: the change will not affect settings unless they’re set to default.

Patch 8.1 introduces a new card - the explosion loving Witcher Madoc. Our team has designed this card in a way that you could “build a deck around” it. We figured out that we’ll try our hand at brewing some fun synergic deck that could make Madoc feel at home. Our idea puts him in a Skellige - Witcher oriented shell, but it’s merely one way of many, and we’re excited to see what you will come up with.
The Decklist
Along with the decklist, we prepared a small deck guide.
The basic tactics revolve around cards that can spawn Witcher Adepts (like Selective Mutation, Armor Up or Bear Witcher Quartermaster), Vesemir: Mentor for boosting your Witchers, and utilisation of bombs plus Madoc interaction. There is also a “damaged units” sub theme that works with Arnaghad, Junod of Belhaven and Bear Witcher Mentor. In terms of removal, this deck does not really have powerful one shot options. That does not mean there is no way to take out pesky enemy units, as it has a potential to deal a lot of widespread damage, and finish them off with some targeted blasts. Last but not least, there is a decent amount of Adrenaline cards used in this deck, so pay attention to your play sequencing. Sometimes it’s better to mulligan them away, so you can easier meet the condition in the second or third round.
Selective Mutation: Spawns Witcher Adepts, can tutor for example for Vesemir: Mentor if you didn’t draw him, or any other of our Adrenaline cards that we might need. It can also create a tutoring chain with Geralt: Quen.
Armor Up: Major source of Witcher Adepts spawn, creates a very nice set up for Vesemir: Mentor or Leo from the get go.
Vesemir: Mentor: Best played in rounds where you can spawn most of the Witcher Adepts (as they don’t exist in your hand or deck). Playing him in round one creates most value when it comes to boosting your Witchers in deck.
Bombs: Damage, removal, enabler for Bomb Heaver and tutor for Madoc. Having at least one is important to get as much value as possible from Madoc, but try to not keep a hand with more than three (unless there is a reason for it).
Madoc: Target to be mulliganed away, due to a built in tutor with bombs. Can be summoned potentially up to five times. Geralt: Aard can help with lining up the opponent units for Cataclysm. Look out to not get “doomed” status, but if it would happen early in the game, you can potentially use Moon Dust to not lose him permanently.
Haern Caduch: Very versatile card that can give you most of the bronzes that you might need.
Junod of Belhaven: With our various means of dealing damage, has potential to remove any threat.
Leo: Just like Vesemir: Mentor, best if played in rounds where you can put out most of the witchers on the field.
Dire Bear: Helps to curb boosts that could make the opponent’s units get out of our range of damage.
Geralt: Aard: Helps to line up opponent units for our weathers, and provides wide damage that Bear Witcher Mentor and Arnaghad benefit from.
Gerd: Synergy with our units that care about damaged enemies/units, as he’s a source of broad non targeted damage.
Bear Witcher: Fodder for our units that care about damaged units, and a source of targeted damage in most cases. Best positioned next to Haern Caduch, as then he can reach his full potential of 8 points.
Bear Witcher Quartermaster: Another card that plays well with our units that care about damaged units, and a source of Witcher Adepts.
Arnaghad, Bear Witcher Mentor: Our major payoff for the unit damage setup, with Arnaghad being a very conditional, but still, removal. 7 points is a serious amount of damage, and there is a chance that we can repeat it for similarly spectacular effect.
Bomb Heaver: Thematic addition, as it’s a card that benefits from our use of bombs. Source of damage that still leaves some body behind.
Leader Ability Onslaught: Very versatile in our deck, it can be an enabler for our units that care about damaged enemies/units, that last targeted point to finish off a unit, or a shield removal service.
With the start of the first ranked season of 2021 – Season of the Wolf, we’re kicking off the next competitive season of GWENT Masters e-sports series! Here’s its schedule:
We've updated the official ruleset to reflect the changes that were introduced between this and previous seasons. Let us walk you through the most important changes:
Licensed tournaments are no more Licensed tournaments weren't exactly the most popular type of competition due to the numerous restrictions and guidelines imposed by the rules. Moving into Season 3 we won't be supporting this type of competition anymore and focus on Community tournaments, which are regulated by a very simple set of guidelines.With this change only the official tournaments organized by CD PROJEKT RED (including the online qualifiers!) will grant CP rewards.
Crown points can now be earned in online qualifiers Previously online tournaments were a bittersweet experience - after several hours of intense GWENT action, 2 players were declared winners and received tickets to Open, while runner-ups were left with nothing. Many qualifier players expressed this concern to us, so we decided to provide CP rewards to top-4 players from each qualifier. Our hope is that the rewards will give consistent players more incentives to compete in the tournament environment each month and improve the qualifier experience overall. See more details in the paragraph 5.5 of the official rules.
Extra prize pool distribution for Opens In Season 2 extra prize pool generated by the awesome GWENT community was distributed equally between all Open participants, which led to rather low stakes on each stage of the tournament. We decided to change that by applying proportional distribution successfully introduced at GWENT World Masters S2. With extra money at stake in every stage of the tournament, we hope to see even more exciting Open matches! See more details in the paragraph 10(j) of the official rules.
Best of luck in GWENT Masters Season 3!

FAQ
Q: Why is there such a gap between PC versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and old-gen consoles?
A: Cyberpunk 2077 is huge in scope, it features a multitude of custom objects, interacting systems and mechanics. In the game, everything is not stretched out over flat terrain where we can make things less taxing hardware-wise, but condensed in one big city and in a relatively loading-free environment. We made it even more difficult for ourselves by first wanting to make the game look epic on PCs and then adjusting it to consoles — especially old-gens. That was our core assumption. And things did not look super difficult at first, while we knew the hardware gap, ultimately, time has proven that we've underestimated the task.
Q: What was the main issue that made development for consoles that difficult?
A: The main culprit was having to constantly improve our in-game streaming system for old-gen consoles. Streaming is responsible for “feeding” the engine with what you see on screen, as well as the game mechanics. Since the city is so packed and the disk bandwidth of old-gen consoles is what it is, this is something that constantly challenged us.
Q: Didn’t you test old-gen consoles to keep tabs on the experience?
A: We did. As it turned out, our testing did not show many of the crashes you experienced while playing the game. As we got closer to launch, we saw significant improvements each and every day, and we really believed we’d deliver in the final day zero update.
Q: Why was there a gap between PC and console reviews?
A: We started sending out PC review keys to start the review process in the first week of December. Come December 10th, launch day, we had a really good start with PC reviews, and while it’s not perfect, this is a version of the game we were, and still are, very proud of. When it comes to the review process for consoles, at the same time PC codes were sent out we were still working hard to improve the quality of the game on old-gen consoles. Every extra day that we worked on the day zero update brought visible improvement — that’s why we started sending console codes for reviews on the 8th December, which was later than we had planned.
Q: What have you done since launch to make the game better?
A: Our top priority since launch has been to fix bugs in Cyberpunk 2077. We have already released two bigger patches and a couple of smaller hotfixes which have improved the game, and we’re not done yet.
Q: What are you going to do going forward to fix Cyberpunk 2077?
A: We are focused on fixing the bugs and crashes players are experiencing across every platform. You can expect more in the way of patches — both small and large — to be released regularly. Our plans for supporting Cyberpunk 2077 in the long-term are unchanged, and we will continue to introduce updates and patches to give all players across all consoles and PCs a better experience with the game.
Q: You have said there would be free DLC for the game in ‘early 2021’, will this be impacted by improvements?
A: We’re still planning on releasing free DLC for the game, just like with The Witcher 3. However, we have decided that our priority is working on the most important fixes and updates. We will be releasing free DLC afterwards — we’ll have more to say about that in the coming months.
Q: When can we expect the next-gen update for Cyberpunk 2077?
A: We are planning to release the free, next-gen update for Cyberpunk 2077 this year. We’re aiming for the second half of the year and we’ll reveal more when we have more to share.
Q: Are you making the team crunch to work on the patches?
A: The team is working to bring relevant fixes to the game without any obligatory overtime. Avoiding crunch on all of our future projects is one of our top priorities.
Q: When is the game coming back to PlayStation Store?
A: We are working on fixes and updates, and are working with Sony to bring Cyberpunk 2077 back to PlayStation Store as soon as possible.
Q: What is the status of the Help Me Refund initiative?
A: The initiative is progressing according to plan and we just sent out the first wave of reimbursements.

For the record, I personally have a very visual memory and have struggled with names, in general, all my life. Hell, when I started working here, I had to draw on paper the room I was working in with people's names on desk symbolizing squares and rely on it for weeks. I have also lived through so many versions of cards that very occasionally (especially a less popular card that I haven't recently played with or against) it can be easy to be slightly confused.
On a final note regarding Rethaz, no doubt he was mega focused on gameplay aspects and relied on people (like me) to cover other topics around the game (such as UI design). In my current role, I make almost ZERO direct decisions regarding card design on purpose. Injecting me in the design process would make things worst and cripple the team's ability to deliver and cripple my ability to handle a large number of aspects of the game that are easy to take for granted.
Look, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but stating what someone else's intent as being "clear" to you is just rude and unfair. Apologies if I'm equally abrasive, but that rubs me the wrong way. I was the first person to work on GWENT and no one has put more effort into making this game better than me. Am I perfect? No. Have all of my decisions been perfect? No. The direction taken for Homecoming was the only part of the project's history where I had very little influence on and have been struggling to find a way to make the game better without doing another all-in crazy revamp or spending another half a year undoing year's worth of work.
Yes, if you'd like to resubmit, delete your previous submission. If we see you'd submitted more than one screenshot in the category they won't be eligible.
We will announce the winners via our official Twitter and DM them on Twitter, this setting should be fine
#Shutterpunk2077 — Cyberpunk 2077 Photo Mode Contest has been prolonged! We’re waiting for your submissions until 11:59 PM CET on Sunday, January 31st 2021. Winners will be announced by the end of February.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Welcome to the 8.1 update! This time, aside from the usual round of fixes and improvements, we're introducing a brand new card: Madoc! You may have heard about him in one of Snowdrops' stories. This fella has a fiery temper and soft spot for bombs, which make him come back for more action even if he's temporarily knocked out. Madoc will also join the Draft Mode club, with two new packages dedicated to his synergies.
This time, the patch does not bring much in terms of balance changes. It's not due to not seeing the need for it, but simply because of the holiday season that has cut short last month's time for development.
You can read the details on all the 8.1 changes below.
Changes
New sound effects in Draft battlepicker
New card: Madoc.
Power: 3, Provision: 10, Category: Witcher
"Whenever you play a Bomb card, Summon this card from your deck or graveyard to a random allied row.
Order: Spawn Cataclysm for 1 turn on the opposite row, then destroy self.
Succubus ability changed to:
Deathwish: At the end of your turn, if there is another Succubus in your graveyard, Summon self from your graveyard to a random row and gain Doomed.
Adrenaline 3: Don't gain Doomed.
New Features
Premium Strategems have new, unique visual & sound effects when their orders are used
New category for Expansion Contracts
New category for Journey Contracts
Game Fixes
Idarran now correctly mentions that his ability only works with units spawned on your side of the board.
Portal now correctly mentions that both units are summoned from the deck.
Vesemir, Lambert and Eskel now correctly mention that other Witchers are summoned from the deck.
Cat Witcher Mentor now correctly mentions that he boosts self for other cards on the row.
Cat Witcher Mentor now doesn't react to units transformed on the opposite (enemy) row.
Viper Witcher now correctly mentions that he spawns a base copy of the target.
Coated Weapons now correctly mentions that it spawns base copy of the target.
Gorthur Gvaed now correctly mentions that it can move any card from graveyard to deck.
Fallen Knight now correctly mentions that he only boosts self for units spawned on owners side of the battlefield.
Fixed a bug that displayed total number of points in rows in wrong order.
Adjusted art of one of the loading screens.
Draft Mode
Added new Wombo Combo package:
- Madoc x 3
Added new special Package:
- Bomb
We usually do not comment on rumours, but this is simply not true.
Recently, I've seen some controversies regarding changes to two arts in GWENT: The Witcher Card Game - Gorthur Gvaed and Masquerade Ball - I wanted to come forward and clarify what happened. The change to the design of Gorthur Gvaed was a last minute adjustment in which we decided to remove the snake head, which felt too "high fantasy" to our art team, unfortunately we did it after showing the old art in the reveal campaign, which had the head, as of today we do not plan to bring back the old art.
When it comes to Masquerade Ball the wrong art was added to the game with update 8.0 - this will be fixed with upcoming update - 8.1. We are not doing any kind of shadow-censorship in GWENT: The Witcher Card Game, this was simply a mistake, which of course will be fixed.
Have a Happy New Year!
Cheers!

So regarding the damaged save data issue/ 8MB limit, and the 1.06 fix, I'd like to clarify a bit:
- For now we only addressed the limit, as it was the safest thing to do just before Christmas holiday. We'll continue working on improving saving in the new year.
- Hitting the 8MB limit was actually not easy at all. E.g. in one of our tests 4355 weapons & 30000 kg load were needed in the inventory to bloat a normal save this way.
- So how does it happen? Our investigation points to crafting large numbers of items (going well into tens of thousands). The modifier indicating if an item is crafted will keep being added to item type in the StatsSystem save node, gradually accumulating space in the save file. We are working on addressing this but still, hitting these numbers is not easy at all during a normal playthrough, gets easier though if one were to e.g. use a duplication glitch or a mod making crafting instant.
- To my knowledge we had no reports of exactly this issue happening on consoles, and it would be risky to deploy a just in case fix before Christmas.
Like I said - hotfix removes the limit
Correct
The hotfix will not fix saves that are already corrupted, but it will prevent save files getting corrupted in the future.
After downloading the hotfix players should resume the game from the last working save.
