News Wait a Minute, The Witcher 3 Doesn't Have a Level Cap?
Kills for skills
A point that we've made countless times now: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a massive game. So massive, in fact, that Geralt's maximum level has been the point of much debate, purely because next to no one's managed to find and finish every available quest in the release. Indeed, quests are your main source of experience points in the...

Why the long face?
We've seen some pretty dumb glitches during our time with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but nothing particularly nefarious.

News CD Projekt Red Hoping to Find The Witcher 3 PS4 Framerate and Font Size Fix
New patch in production
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's text is so tiny that you may need to push your nose right up against your television screen in order to read it.
