CD Projekt Red released an update for the PC version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt last week. The update brought a number of improvements to the game, but unfortunately the update didn't make it to the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version of the game last week.
The patch has finally hit the PlayStation 4 across a number of regions – except North America. The patch should be available "everywhere soon" and shares some of the same fixes that hit the PC, with a few PS4 specific fixes.
