The Witcher 3 Xbox One patch to release today

It will be bringing some long awaited fixes!

CD Projekt Red is looking to release the long awaited Xbox One update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt today. Community Lead Marcin Momot has taken to the game's forums responding to inquiries on the whereabouts of the Xbox One patch.

The Witcher 3 was first patched on the PC and subsequently patched on the PlayStation 4. The patch, titled Patch 1.03 brings stability to the game along with a number of fixes for bugs. CD Projekt Red is already working on the game's next patch and will have it going through the certification process soon enough.

As for what patch 1.03 will bring to the Xbox One, Momot has detailed it will be "pretty much similar to the ones on PS4 with the addition of Save files fix." The PS4 and PC patch had minimal differences between the two, most of the differences came from console specific bugs. 

**It should be noted that the patch is available in some regions, it is not available worldwide yet.
