The Witcher 3’s 1.22 update has gone live for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It released last week on PC. Patch 1.22 addresses a number of bugs, particularly those in The Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine expansion. It also got rid of a widely used currency exploit with the beehive in White Orchard, the game’s starting area.
Patch 1.22 weighs in at 3.2 GB on both Playstation 4 and Xbox One. This is par-for-the-course for Witcher 3 patches. The Witcher 3 didn’t perform particularly well on console–poor performance was behind CD Projekt Red’s controversial decision to rework the game’s lighting system after a breathless showing at E3 2014.
