CD Projekt Red has released Update 5.000.400 for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered, focusing on performance stability for the PlayStation 5 and resolving region locks for localization. This update, internally designated as Patch 5.00d, arrived on October 6, 2026, across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
The 5.000.400 version number represents the technical build ID specifically for PlayStation 5 players, while Patch 5.00d serves as the developer’s internal versioning for the hotfix. The primary focus of this release is improving overall performance on the PS5, which had seen some instability following the 5.0 Remastered upgrade.
Global Localization and Audio Fixes
One of the most significant changes in Patch 5.00d is the expanded availability of Ukrainian localization. While the 5.0 update introduced these language options, they were previously restricted by certain console regions. This update unlocks Ukrainian localization globally for all players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The patch also addresses several technical bugs that impacted player immersion and account connectivity:
- Voiceover Audio: Fixed specific issues on consoles where voiceover audio would occasionally fail to trigger or cut out during dialogue.
- Connectivity: Resolved issues related to “My Rewards” and “Twitch Drops” connectivity, ensuring players can properly claim digital items.
- PS5 Stability: Implemented targeted performance optimizations to improve performance on the PlayStation 5.
Context of the Remastered Upgrade
This hotfix follows the major 5.0 Remastered upgrade. That update significantly overhauled the game’s technical foundation. It also introduced the “Reforge” system, a mechanic that allows players to change equipment appearance while retaining base stats.
According to Pure Xbox, several key fixes were prioritized to ensure the new features, such as the revamped skill tree requiring prerequisites for abilities, functioned correctly alongside the new visual enhancements. Players who have already installed the 5.0 update will find Patch 5.00d is a smaller download focused entirely on these technical refinements and accessibility expansions.
