The Witcher 3 (opens in new tab) won’t launch for a few hours yet, but we already know what improvements its day-one update is bringing along. Several NeoGAF (opens in new tab) users have posted their early patch notes, laying out in detail the first of CD Projekt Red’s post-release plans for the open-world RPG.
Granted, between retailers selling the game early (opens in new tab) and reviews going up a few weeks ahead of time, you may have already seen quite a bit of The Witcher 3. But once you start running The Witcher 3 version 1.01 (it’s a 482MB download on PS4), you’ll see it with better behaved boats! And improved performance or whatever, but seriously, there’s nothing worse than an ill-mannered boat.
Here are the update notes:

– Journal objective fixes
