The Witcher 3 launched on Nintendo Switch back in October, bringing CD Projekt Red's massive open-world RPG to Nintendo's hybrid console. That wasn't the end of the Switch version, however, as a new patch is going out for the game, improving upon the already impressive port. Currently, the 3.6 patch has gone live in European and Asian territories, bringing with it improved graphics, touch controls for Gwent, optimizations, and cross-save support for the Steam and GOG PC versions of The Witcher 3. A pre and post patch graphical comparison is linked below.

Might have to try and get it, i'm not super far on PC but if i want to share my save between PC and console, great!

More devs need to implement cross-save with other consoles and PC. Like you start playing for example Horizon Chase Turbo on PS4 then you transfer the save over to Switch to keep going on the go

Don't see much of a difference in the screenshots, so I'll have to nab the patch when I can and see if it's actually any better. I had a tough time playing the Switch version, mainly because of the awful framerate, so if this does anything to improve that I'll be happy.

Cross saves are neat, too.

If someone again can't see a difference, you can check screenshots here with each setting displayed separately:

Is it cross save (go between the two consoles) or just pc to switch and not switch to pc?

Both way from what I've saw

Does cross-save require contacting Nintendo servers?

^This guy... asking the real questions.
