***Update***

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's latest patch (1.05 on PC, 1.04 on consoles) has been released. It is now available for download on PC and PS4. We're still awaiting news on the Xbox One version. Check out what's new and fixed here.

Earlier this week, CD Projekt RED outlined the list of changes and fixes coming to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with the next patch (1.05 on PC, 1.04 on consoles).

There's no doubt Projekt RED has been swift in updating the game since its release last month, but fans are beginning to get a bit impatient with the latest patch, which brings fixes to a number of issues including the dreaded no XP glitch.

So what's the status on this patch? Can we expect it this week?

Well, honestly, we're not sure. CD Projekt RED isn't even sure, as community manager Marcin Momot has yet to even commit to a date. 

"We continue working on the patch. Can't give you the exact time it will release – sorry about that," he said on the game's forums. "Once I can share that info with you, I will."

Momot has been pretty good at responding to fans on the forums. Earlier this week he tried to explain that the size of the patch and the number of fixes it contains requires heavy testing.

"Please keep in mind that the patch is extremely large. It addresses a bunch of issues so we need to test it properly. We don't want to fix some stuff, while breaking other," he said.

"And regarding the XP glitch, as we mentioned, the lack of XP doesn't affect the game in a big way. You are still able to level your character as designed."

It's possible the patch could be made available this week, or it could take longer than the weekend, which Momot said the team will work through if needed.

In the meantime, yesterday the latest batch of The Witcher 3's free DLC was released. It consists of  the Nilfgaardian Armor Set and Elite Crossbow Set. Here's where you can find it in-game.
