CD Projekt Red today announced they’re fancying-up The Witcher 3 for release on the next generation of consoles, and we on PC will receive those improvements too, with a free update.

Your mother comments on the rise in guillotine stocks. Your father, the king, chews his mutton with a rueful and distant glare, probably thinking about war. A cloaked advisor enters and hands you a note on parchment. “The ten worft kingf and queenf in gamef,” it reads. You cough politely, put it in your pocket for later, and continue pushing poisoned food around as if you are eating it.
