Good lord, we don't even want to think about how much time and effort was put into creating this frankly ridiculous update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Instead of posting the patch notes on the game's official forums as per usual, the developer has instead provided a link to a 13-page PDF - which says it all, really.

Patch 1.10 features countless bug and performance fixes. Some are general tweaks, while others are incredibly specific. As the headline states, the update is actually so big that we can't fit it into one article without splitting things into multiple pages, so we've decided to only include its most important details.

With the role-playing title's first expansion out next week, will you be chipping the rust off your sword any time soon? Brandish your blade in the comments section below.
