As seen in the video above, Geralt can now approach Roach and pet the mare, which seems to react to the witcher’s affection by wagging its tail. Although small, this addition was highly requested by players since the game hit stores in 2015.
Other small news also arrived in the game, such as new fast travel points and decreased fall damage, which for years haunted the community. The patch also unexpectedly and randomly removed the number 69 from the game’s menus, believe it or not.
Although it was very well received on consoles, with revamped visuals, ray tracing support, new lighting effects and different performance modes, The Witcher 3 update has been pretty criticized no pc🇧🇷 On computers, the action RPG has bugs and many performance issues, which has generated more criticism from the producer CD Projekt Red.
