The Witcher 3 was recently patched on Switch, if you were having issues

"Fixes the issue of ambient audio being absent"

Even if I primarily play it on PC and Xbox Series X, I’m still amazed that The Witcher 3 on Nintendo Switch (otherwise known as “The Switcher”) fits on one physical cart. I’m also amazed that, nearly four years after the Switch version’s October 2019 release, the publisher is still patching the game intermittently. This newest hotfix involves ambient audio issues, which should now be cleared up.

The hotfix addresses ambient audio issues

Here’s the full statement from CD Projekt Red, via the Witcher game franchise’s Twitter account:

“We have just released a hotfix for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Nintendo Switch! It fixes the issue of ambient audio being absent for some players and resolves any regional restriction that was incorrectly applied on the Korean version of the game 🇰🇷 Be aware the game version won’t change so if you are unsure if it has applied please check the date of the last update.”

It’s a small fix, but it’s appreciated regardless! This port was a miracle in any context,

Other recent Witcher news mostly involves collector’s items

Beyond that patch, there isn’t much to report on The Witcher front, other than that it might be a while until we see any more games from CD Projekt Red.

A Geralt bust figure is up for pre-order now, as well as a Ciri collectible. Oh, and Witcher version of Monopoly.
