Witcher 3's HDR Patch For PS4 Pro Still In The Works
Some bug squashin' still needs to happen.
CD Projekt Red has been working on an HDR update to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for PS4 Pro for months now, having announced it way back in December. In February, the developer reassured fans that the patch was still on its way, but since then there's been little further news. This week, though, CD Projekt Red confirmed again that the patch is coming, and explained that its delay has to do with various bugs that need to be fixed.
Community Lead Marcin Momot reaffirmed on Twitter that the studio is still actively developing the HDR update, and he explained that it has taken a long time because CDPR has found additional and unexpected issues that need to be addressed. Further, he urged players to be patient.
.@witchergame PS4 Pro HDR patch is still very much in development. Due to the fact that we've discovered some additional bugs along the way, we need more time to finish it. We don't want to compromise the quality of the update, so we would like to ask you for a bit more patience.

Momot also confirmed that the base PS4 version of the game will also support HDR once the patch launches. However, the patch is also expected add several "technical tweaks improving the overall experience" on PS4 Pro specifically. No other specifics have been given; Momot said that CDPR will "share the full changelog with the release of the patch."
