Patch for Witcher 3 on Switch is out and adds cross-save with Steam and GOG, as well as a graphic options, and more
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
Nintendo has never been too strict about letting 3rd parties doe what they want, censorship aside (and that was way back)
Someone in California was downloading it, earlier in the thread.
Again ive put like 60 hours in switcher 3 the past couple of weeks, and now four hours with the update. It looks sooo much better on tv, this is magic. Theres really no excuse left now for switch missing current gen open world games. Switcher 3 comes in some ways pretty close to base ps4 version. Its insane.
edit: i play with sharpness on as well Baron's town and novigrad look amazing especially when its clear weather (so like 30 percent of the time lolol)
Im so happy my game of the gen is on switch and in this quality now. Hope there will be more of these sort of games on switch now. Cmon publishers. Try Ac Odyssey for example.

I can vouch that i'm in california and have downloaded the patch.
PC cross save should really become the standard for ports of this kind. Hard to argue the TV experience for many of these games isn't somewhat subpar, but with games getting cheap fairly soon on steam this is a good way to get the best of both worlds without too much additional cost.

Wow that third image is incredible. The difference is astounding.
I think the Xbox/PS4 build is different than the PC/Switch build (someone can correct me if I am wrong).
Same, I wanna see full cross-save on all multiplatform single-player games - I'd start multi-dipping like wild. Nonetheless, fantastic update to the Witcher 3 on Switch and now I'm really considering buying that SKU.
I will definitely pick this up now. The bluriness like Doom and Wolfenstein was holding me back. No AA looks great! Panic Button, take notice!
May pick this up for a NG+ run in the future, though likely after a price drop since I'm still in the middle of my first run on PC. Everything about this port has been impressive.
Thanks!
Playing it docked most of the time so i'm eager to see how big of a difference it is to prepatch and in comparison to the ps4 version i have.
Their quality is already better than Panic Button's IMO. Panic Button choose to cut framerates in half and still degrade image quality by quite a bit, while Saber now has at least 3 impressive conversions of 30fps games (the ones I'm thinking of are this, Call of Cthulhu and Vampyr).
Go ahead and delete some old games. Truth be told, you don't even have a desire to play one of those big games. I just deleted LA noire.
That's true, but isn't that a reason why Panic Button should have tried to preserve the framerate of the faster paced games they have ported?
Like a true crazy person, I just ordered this from Amazon since it was discounted. I have a PS4 save that I never finished, and tried recently to start playing it on my Xbox One X, but wasn't keen on starting over again. But now I've gone and bought this because the patch looks awesome. I find I'm much more willing to play longer games on my Switch (because it's so easy to pick up and play for a bit without a lot of extra hassle) so I hope this will finally be the time I finish this game. Not to mention having all the expansions there is a big bonus.

I was going to mention Vampyr. That looks superb on Switch.

Does this maintain separate settings for docked vs. handheld, or do you have to change it each time you undock if you don't want the same settings for both?
And isn't that game also semi-open world? I haven't played it yet but I remember reading something like that.
Call of Cthulhu is also pretty good but very linear.
If I remember correctly from when my brother was playing(I haven't played it either!) it's like the modern Deus Ex, so open but not to the scale you would normally describe as an open world game.
Is there a sweet spot that looks good both docked/undocked so I'm not messing with settings all the time?
Apparently it's already been a pretty big success. Updates like this should ensure that continues.
