Here's What Future Witcher 3 Updates Will Change and Fix

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt developer CD Projekt Red has published partial patch notes for the game's upcoming 1.04/1.05 update, outlining various tweaks, changes, and fixes coming to the open-world RPG.

The update will include a fix for the XP bug that first came to light last week, along with "significantly enlarged" GUI and HUD elements, including fonts, to resolve the game's small, hard-to-read text issue.

Also included are "general stability and performance improvements." And you may be happy to learn that Geralt will no longer interact with candles near chests, which I've found to be somewhat annoying.

The list below represents only the "most requested changes" and not everything that will be included with 1.04 (console) /1.05 (PC).

CD Projekt Red did not say when this patch will arrive, but presumably it will debut first on PC before coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later, just as the 1.03 patch did.

And looking beyond 1.04/1.05, CD Projekt Red said it has "a lot more fixes on the way," though none were named outright.
