It seems we’ll be waiting a little while longer for the next-gen update.

The next-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has once again been delayed. The developer pushed the release date for the free next-gen upgrade to Q2 2022, but it's not clear when we'll be able to play it.

CDPR said via the official The Witcher account that they have decided to have their in-house development team conduct the remaining work on the next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

We'll update you as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding. 2/2

The developer is planning some free armor inspired by the hit series, but they haven't given a detailed description of what to expect from The Witcher 3's next-gen patch. The next-gen upgrade for Cyberpunk 2077 added ray tracing support, faster loading times, and support for dualsense controller features on the PS5 in February. The game had a lot of bugs when it was first released, but it seems like it has been improved since then.
