Witcher 3 Dev Treating Xbox One Save Problems "Very Seriously"
CD Projekt Red working on delivering fix "as soon as possible."
The Witcher 3 developer CD Projekt Red has acknowledged an issue affecting the ability to save games on the Xbox One version of its open-world role-playing game.
The issue, as reported by numerous users on the Witcher 3 forum, disables the auto-saving and manual saving function, but doesn't notify the player this has happened.
This has led to complaints that numerous hours of play have been lost and, obviously, is an issue that can negatively impact the experience of a large open-world RPG.
