The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

After the arrival of the improvements for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt last December where we were able to obtain significant changes, we saw that Geralt's adventure received a new facelift, incorporating a new visual update that ranges from including a reworked foliage or with 4K textures and better quality models, among many other things.


This time, not only users of the digital version are in luck, since the next-gen version of The Witcher 3 came out in physical format at the end of January so that no one is left behind. Thus, both lovers of digital versions and the most nostalgic will be able to enjoy this installment.

And to continue with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, its new update is now available with a set of improvements for Xbox, PC and PlayStation, adding stability and better performance, all of it in addition to the correction of some bugs.


It is time to review the news that update 4.01 brings us to The Witcher 3:
