Witcher 3 Remastered's Latest Update Restores DLSS on PC and Tweaks Lighting
CD Projekt RED has issued the October 1 update for The Witcher 3 Remastered, labeled Patch 5.00b. The small update restores DLSS in the Xbox Play Anywhere PC build, adjusts lighting, and brightens some interiors. A separate PC hotfix is in the works for a saving bug that displays a storage-space error.
CD Projekt RED rolled out Patch 5.00b for The Witcher 3 Remastered on October 1, 2026. The update re-enables DLSS for the PC version distributed through Xbox Play Anywhere, revises lighting across multiple locations, and corrects interiors that were too dim. It also includes further tweaks intended to align console and PC versions.
A separate PC hotfix is planned for a saving problem that triggers a storage-space error, though no release window was given. The remaster added Path Tracing on PC, and the outlet notes an upcoming DLSS 5 comparison against that mode. Steam and GOG Galaxy should fetch the patch at next client launch.
PC players using the Xbox Play Anywhere build may regain DLSS, potentially improving frame rates and image quality on supported hardware. Lighting and interior brightness changes could alter how some scenes read, affecting both new and returning players. The planned saving hotfix may ease frustration for those encountering storage errors, though its absence of a timeline could leave some users waiting. More broadly, the patch may reinforce expectations that remasters receive ongoing optimization and cross-platform parity, shaping how players judge future CD Projekt RED releases.
