The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Nintendo Switch Version Gets Save File Integration

Last year, CD Projekt released their flagship RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Nintendo’s portable Switch console. And now, the game’s latest patch makes it so you can transfer your saves between the Switch version and your GOG and Steam accounts. The patch also adds some touch control functionality and new graphical options, and optimizes the game’s performance. Here are the patch notes:

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Complete Edition for Nintendo Switch has just received a brand new update!

Additionally, the update expands the range of available text language options for selected regions. More graphical settings can also be found in the options following the update, making it possible to customize visual fidelity.
