The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Won't Receive PS4 Pro Patch

It's not in the (Gwent) cards.

CD Projekt Red isn't planning on creating a PlayStation 4 Pro patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Speaking with Eurogamer, the studio explained it is prioritizing its efforts on Gwent: The Witcher Card Game and Cyberpunk 2077. That means an update for Sony's upgraded console isn't in the works.

"Since we want to fully focus on Cyberpunk 2077 and Gwent, and converting The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt from a full HD game into a 4K one [on console] would be too much of a time- and resource-consuming process, we decided not to release an edition of Wild Hunt supporting the new features of PlayStation Pro," CD Project Red said to Eurogamer.

So even though The Witcher 3 can scale up to 4K on PC, don't expect a similar option on PlayStation 4 Pro. But there are other already released games that will get patches for the console.

When Sony unveiled the system with 4K and HDR capabilities earlier this month, games like Call of Duty: Black Ops III and Deux Ex: Mankind Divided were highlighted as getting support for the new visual features. (You can see the full PS4 Pro games compatibility list here.)

Earlier this year, CD Projekt Red announced and released The Witcher 3: Game of the Year Edition. The package combines the main game with all of the DLC for the fantasy RPG, including the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions.

In fact, IGN has a review roundup for all of The Witcher 3's content.
