by From December 14, all players who own The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will receive a free next-gen update. This update gives players access to improved graphics, as well as new missions, cosmetic items and more, all for free if you already own the game. Those who don’t own the game will be able to purchase The Witcher 3: Complete Edition, which includes the next-gen upgrade as well as both of the game’s narrative expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. In addition to all this content, developer CD Projekt RED has also implemented a new online feature in The Witcher 3. This feature gives players access to cross-progression and cross-saves. Essentially, this means that players will be able to access their Witcher 3 saves on platforms other than the one they originally played on. Below, you can see exactly how to take advantage of the new cross-save system in The Witcher 3.
Cross saves in The Witcher 3
CD Projekt RED essentially ported the cross-save system from Cyberpunk 2077 to The Witcher 3. Players can store their autosaves, most recent manual saves, and quick saves in the cloud, which can then be accessed across different platforms. The caveat is that players can only have one cross-save active on any platform, so you can’t carry different saves with plans to save-scrub between platforms. Of course, this new feature also only applies to the current generation consoles, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S and PC, as those are the platforms that are getting the next-gen update.
