The Witcher 3's Delay Will Make The Game Look Better

CD Projekt Red explains that the game's delay gives them time to optimize the visuals across all platforms.

In a letter that CD Projekt Red executive, Marcin Iwinski sent, he revealed that the delay will not result in content changes, but instead bug fixes and to ensure the game runs at an optimal resolution and frame rate across all systems.

"We are removing the final bugs and still running optimization in various areas. What it will result in is a smoother and more engaging experience and, yes, the game looking better across all platforms," Iwinski explains.

"The content is locked, so no content changes are being made at this point. The scale of the open world in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is unprecedented, so fear not--there is enough gameplay to keep you playing for weeks."
