UPDATE 19/02/20: It’s disappointing news for console players, as while cross-save between Switch and PC is now official, CD Projekt Red has said the feature will not be brought to PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. In the near future, at least.
The reason for this is because the option was “designed for the Switch version specifically, together with Saber Interactive – the team which was closely cooperating with us on the Switch port,” CD Projekt told USgamer. “There are no plans regarding similar functionality in the other versions of The Witcher 3.”
Aard luck.
UPDATE 18/02/20: Somewhat belatedly, given the sheer number of people that have already downloaded the Witcher 3’s latest patch on Switch, CD Projekt has released its official patch notes highlighting everything included in today’s impressively featured version 3.6 update.
The big addition, as we already knew, is save file integration between Switch and PC, via Steam and GOG. It’s an undoubtedly welcome and extremely useful new feature, but CD Projekt offers a couple of warnings to heed if you want things to run smoothly.
