Update:
The issue was caused by the REDlauncher not running on Steam Deck (unlike Cyberpunk 2077, which still launches with the REDlauncher). The Witcher 3 doesn't — which meant I couldn’t log into my CD PROJEKT RED account and sync my saves. I ended up resolving it by launching The Witcher 3 on PC, where the launcher works fine and cloud save sync happens quickly and smoothly. Please consider bringing the REDlauncher back for The Witcher 3 on Steam Deck — it would really help with cross-progression support.
Hello,
So, REDlauncher should be actually launched before The Witcher 3 - as it is part of the game build. I could imagine couple of possible causes of not launching it:
1. There are some launch flags/options passed during launching and because of them, REDlauncher is actually skipped.
Please, make sure, that on SteamDeck, in game Preferences -> General, the "Launch Options" field is empty.

2. There is some Game files integrity problem.
Please navigate to Preferences->Installed Files and use "Verify integrity of game files" option.

3. REDlauncher fails to be launched (or crashes).
If such happens, there are two things:
3a) It would be great, if we would get the generated REDlauncher logs from you. We could analyse the issue and maybe fix potential bug.
To get the logs, you need to switch to "Desktop Mode". To do that, you can hold power button (or click "STEAM" button and choose Power). In the menu that appeared, you should choose "Switch to Desktop".
Now, "Desktop mode" allows you to navigate through the entire system. The logs are located here: /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/292030/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Programs/CD Projekt Red/Redlauncher/logs/*
You could then either use the browser on SteamDeck to send them, or use extra software (like warpinator) or configure scp to get the files from the device to PC
3b) Maybe the REDlauncher files got corrupted. You could try to remove them (after removal, during the next Witcher3 launch, the REDlauncher files should be recreated).
To remove the files, again you need to be in the "Desktop Mode".
You should just remove the whole directory /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/292030/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Programs/CD Projekt Red/Redlauncher/

After the removal, you should just get back to "Game Mode". It could be done by double-clicking on "Return to Gaming Mode" icon on the desktop on SteamDeck.
Now you can launcher Witcher3 again and observe.
 
I have another Issue with Cross save. I played Cyberpunk 2077 on my PC for years and now i want it to play on Nintendo Switch 2 and Ps5 with Cross save. But my Nintendo Switch 2 save files are not start to upload. Also not on Ps5. On my Cross save files stays the PC Save files. Is there a way to delete them? It cant be that im not able to start a new Game?
Are you logged to your RED account on both PS5 and Nintendo Switch? If we're talking about CP77, go to Load Game menu, there is a Cross Progression button there and you can check if you're logged in. Once you're logged in, each latest save you create will be uploaded to the cloud and available on other platforms.

Hi CDPR team,

I have some feedback about the performance at the Boston concert, May 31st, 2025.
Could you let me know the best place to send this kind of comment?

Thanks!
You can leave a comment here - we always appreciate feedback and yes, we read comments :)

If you prefer reaching out privately, you can also send us an email - you will find our email addresses at the bottom of our website: https://www.cdprojektred.com (this one will be best in this particular case: contact.community@cdprojektred.com )
 


Direct from the State of Unreal 2025, we are excited to share an early development Unreal Engine 5 tech demo for The Witcher 4.

In collaboration with Unreal Engine, we're working to make The Witcher 4 the most immersive Witcher game to date.

Take a peek at how we’re using Unreal Engine 5 to enhance open-world experiences, push boundaries, and lay the foundation for the next Witcher saga.

Keep in mind this isn’t gameplay of The Witcher 4 itself, but a deep dive into the technological groundwork.
 


Berries tart, lilac sweet...

We’re celebrating 10 years of killing monster in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. And what’s a celebration without some music?

Sure, “Banana tiger” and “Le-le-le” have their charm. But if there’s one song that truly became the heart of the game (unless you’re a certain redheaded sorceress from Novigrad), it’s "Priscilla’s Song".

Rend your heart open, then your love profess as we mark 10 years of the Wolven Storm in our newest It’s All About You episode!

As the crowd at The Kingfisher Inn still dabs their eyes, we want to send a big, heartfelt thank you to all our Callonettas and Dandelions for a truly lovely performance.

Extra love goes to The Fox + The Hound, who sang in English, and The String Theory for the instrumental piece.
 


As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we’re excited to share some good news for our players and modders!

Later this year, we will release one more patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This update will introduce cross-platform mod support across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S via mod.io.

Creating, sharing, and enjoying mods will be easier and more accessible, as players on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S will be able to share a modding ecosystem.

We have put together an FAQ to answer some of your burning questions:

Does downloading mods on PC, Xbox Series X|S, or PlayStation 5 cost money?
Uploading, sharing, and downloading mods via Cross-Platform Mod Support is available at no extra cost to those who own The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

What platforms will get Cross-Platform Mod Support?
Mods will be available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

When will Cross-Platform Mod Support be available?
Cross-Platform Mod Support will be released in a game update released later this year.

What is mod.io?
A tool that brings Cross-Platform Mod Support to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, mod.io provides an easy to use platform for downloading and uploading mods.

Do I need a mod.io account to access Cross-Platform Mod Support?
You need to have a mod.io account and connect it to your CD PROJEKT RED account in order to access Cross-Platform Mod Support. A mod.io account can be created when you access the new in-game mod menu for the first time or visit the mod.io website. Mod creators can upload and manage their mods on the mod.io website.

Can I still use other modding services like Nexus Mods and Steam Workshop?
Yes, existing modding services can still be used, meaning players do not need to use mod.io to upload and download mods for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. However, to access mods on consoles, mod.io is required.

Will all mods be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5?
Many mods will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. However, due to specific content guidelines and selection criteria for each platform, it may not be possible to bring every mod uploaded on PC to console. Mods available on mod.io must also adhere to our Fan Content Guidelines and CD PROJEKT RED User Agreement.

Does Cross-Platform Mod Support only support REDkit mods?
REDkit gives mod creators access to the powerful tools used by CD PROJEKT RED when creating The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and we therefore recommend it when creating mods. However, Cross-Platform Mod Support will support mods created in other ways too. That being said, any mods for consoles that use scripts must be created with REDkit. Other mods, for textures, bundles, and so on, do not need to be created with REDkit.

How do I create mods compatible with Cross-Platform Mod Support?
PC users can download The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt REDkit to create mods, with detailed information available on the official website.

Can you create mods on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5?
No, while Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 players can enjoy playing the myriad mods available through Cross-Platform Mod Support, mods must be created with a mod creator like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt REDkit on PC.

How do I share mods on mod.io?
Mods can be shared by uploading them to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Hub on the mod.io website.

How can I guarantee my mod will be available on console?
Mods created via REDkit have the best chance at being approved for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

We will share more information closer to the release of the patch, so stay tuned!

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey over the last 10 years. We can’t wait to see what you’ll bring to the world of The Witcher!

The adventure continues!
 
Will these concerts be smaller then the two Anniversary concerts?
You can expect similar concert setups throughout the tour, allowing for potential variation due to venue differences and other factors. Our goal is to make the experience as similar as possible, with two notable exceptions featuring unique setups: a special invite-only concert on May 12th at Teatr Wielki - Polish National Opera, as well as the tour's official kickoff concert on August 20th at gamescom in Cologne.

In short - concerts will be similar to the anniversary concerts that will happen this weekend in Boston or in 2 weeks in Poznań :)



Hey! I've been trying to use the code for presale in Chicago and it doesn't seem to be working.

The presale code is not working for me for the show in Detroit.

Jumping on the train to say the presale code doesn't seem to be working for the San Francisco show either. The webpage is stuck infinitely loading so maybe the venues aren't up-to-date on when the ticket sales are supposed to be active?

I checked all 3 venues and the code works on them. Please try again - it was only a temporary issue.
