REN SUMMARY

AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.

The Witcher 3 Remastered has gotten another update as CD Projekt Red keeps working through the problems that showed up after launch. Patch 5.01 is about 5.5 GB on consoles and 8.5 GB on PC.

The biggest change for console players is a new option to turn bloom on or off on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The update also adds controls for Light Shafts and Depth of Field, giving players more ways to adjust how the game looks.

CD Projekt Red also fixed a bug on PS5 that kept resetting custom visual settings. That means players should now be able to keep their preferred graphics options in place.

The patch also addresses a console audio issue where voiceover volume could drop much lower than the rest of the game after using pause menu tabs. CD Projekt Red is still collecting feedback and bug reports as more fixes are expected.
