Here we are downloading yet another update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Available now on PlayStation 4, the patch promises dozens of performance, quest, and bug fixes. It's perhaps not the most exciting update that the game's ever received, but it sets the stage nicely for the upcoming New Game Plus downloadable content, which we imagine will now launch at some point next week.
Despite the numerous improvements that patch 1.07 brought to the title, many complained of a worse framerate in various locations. With any luck, those technical problems will be brushed aside with this newest update, which weighs in at around 2.8GB if you've been keeping the game up to date.
Get it downloaded, and let us know if you're noticing any differences in the comments section below.

I will download this later on
Yes! Hopefully New Game + lands next week then! I've been waiting to finish the game ever since I heard they were adding it.
Awesome, hopefully this will be installed when I get home! I haven't noticed any technical issues at all so far (other than a ghoul nest that refuses to appear in the starting area). That said, I've not actually been to Novigrad yet, where I gather most of the issues were.
That's my next stop though as I just finished the Baron/Witch quests - looking forward to seeing the big city (although not as much as I am to getting to Skellige)!
Does this mean people who haven't played The Witcher will have 10GB worth of updates to download now? 0.o
@TeslaChippie Yep, or just about.
Can't wait for the new game plus update to come out.
Why is it downloading 7.6 GB on my PS4? WHUUUUUUUT?
@AFCC Have you only just got the game? Because that is the size it was for all the updates together as of 1.07.
@SteveButler2210 novigrad is a wonder to behold ... Just wandering around its streets, especially in the rain at dusk really is something else. You will love it.
I've the previous updates installed and I've around 18gb left on my hard drive but it won't leave me download it?
How do updates actually work in terms of downloading them, like let's just say the last patch was 5gb and the next is 7gb would first time players have to download 12gb or just the latest update file?
@SteveButler2210 Nope. I have the game since day 1 with all updates!
Great support from the devs
on ps4 it is 7.601 GB, all updates are in place
@TeslaChippie
A little more than that I guess
And to me is 7.601gb too.
Not sure what anyone else's experience has been, but so far from an hour's play this morning I'd say performance is really suffering. I'm having loads of issues I never had before. I've just finished off Return to Crookback Bog (forgot I still had that to do before Novigrad), and have had the following issues. Objects (fences, scenery, anything really) flickering even in tiny quiet villages. Major framerate issues where there's a lot of action. Some slowdown in cutscenes. Roach galloping on the spot indefinitely even though I wasn't pressing anything. Texture pop-in during cutscenes - the Baron's daughter just had her hair appear halfway through a scene. Oh, and at one point when I dismounted in the middle of a village Geralt briefly attempted to swim in the air...
Really not impressed, seeing as all of this has been happening in less busy locations, and i never had a single one of these issues prior to this patch :/
Edit: weirdly, I had no issues at all once I got to Novigrad, which I gather is the opposite of what people were experiencing previously!
I was finally able to get my last trophy for collecting all gwent cards and got my platinum so happy now. Thank you for fixing it CD Projeckt Red!
@SteveButler2210
Do you mean the shadows are flickering? If this is what you are saying, yes i have noticed this. Shadows of some bushes and walls are flickering, but the fences are the worst. Nearly every little fence shadow are flickering like crazy.
