What is known now
Each section keeps its scope narrow so a high-level announcement is not mistaken for a complete launch specification.
Release status — available
CD PROJEKT RED's September 29 post confirms Remastered is live on the supported PC storefronts, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2.
Current — Patch 5.01, October 8
Named changes include blade-oil setting persistence, delayed dodging, PC graphics/GPU selection, console voiceover and PS5 settings/frame limits. The notes also address a save-data issue; this does not guarantee that every personal save error is resolved. Official Patch 5.01 notes
PC — Hotfix 5.00c, October 1
The named PC stores are Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, Battle.net and Xbox Play Anywhere. Fixes include save/load failures involving special characters in the Documents path, quiet voiceover, GOG achievements and Classic 1.32 launch; CDPR also adjusted Velen visuals and reverted a problematic HairWorks change. Official PC hotfix notes
PS5 / Xbox Series X|S — Patch 5.00b, October 1
This post also covers Xbox Play Anywhere PC. It addresses unavailable DLSS on that PC version, lighting and parity changes. Its then-planned PC save fix was subsequently announced as 5.00c; do not keep presenting it as pending. Official 5.00b notes
Switch 2 — Patch 5.01 rollout
CDPR says Switch 2 Patch 5.01 began rolling out in most regions on October 19. The Japanese version remains pending certification. The notes list image-clarity adjustments, a rare region-change crash fix, mod-support cache optimization, HD Rumble and map-pin fixes; they do not establish a benchmark or confirm an installed build for every player.

Online dependencies
Single-player play is not represented by a central server uptime meter. Storefronts, cloud saves, My Rewards, downloads and platform services can have separate incidents.
Action guide
What to do next
- Step 1
Record the platform and installed version
Read your platform’s installed version and update queue. Compare it with the applicable announcement before troubleshooting; do not assign another platform’s patch number.
- Step 2
If a save/load problem remains
Record the platform, installed build and exact error for CDPR support. The October 1 Documents-path fix and October 8 save-data measures are dated repair records, not a guarantee for every save problem. Keep these records separate from Skill Tree and Save Transfer guidance.
- Step 3
Identify the failing layer
Separate game launch, storefront download, platform network, cloud save, account link, mod, and local performance issues.
- Step 4
Check first-party status pages
Use the relevant platform or CDPR support path for account and service incidents.
- Step 5
Record version and error
After launch, note platform, patch, exact error text, time, and whether the issue persists without mods.
