News The Witcher 3 Is Getting Another PS4 Pro Patch, This Time to Fix Crashes
It never ends
At first, CD Projekt Red said that it wasn't going to release a PS4 Pro patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Then it said that it would. Then we waited a few months.

E3 2017 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Will Loot a PS4 Pro Update
CD Projekt RED confirms
We took CD Projekt RED to task yesterday when it revealed that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt would be updated for Xbox One X, after it had insinuated previously that it didn’t have time to support the PlayStation 4 Pro.

Both games have rightfully been praised...
