PC players have another small update for The Witcher 3 Remastered. On October 29, 2026, CD Projekt Red’s official support account on X announced that a new hotfix is live on PC. It is a short one, with two fixes, but one of them matters a lot to anyone who has been trying out mods on the new version of the game.
Fix 1: gear no longer disappears when you remove mods
According to CD Projekt Red, the hotfix fixes items and equipment disappearing after certain mods were disabled. The studio did not say which mods caused the problem, or whether items that already went missing will come back in older saves. Either way, it is a good habit to keep a backup save before you add or remove mods.
Mods are a big part of The Witcher 3 on PC, and the Remastered update changed a lot under the hood, from the rebuilt skill trees to new systems like transmog, so a fix that makes it safer to switch mods off again is welcome.
Fix 2: Fire Horse blinders return in New Game+
The second fix is for the Fire Horse blinders not showing up in New Game+. The blinders are part of the Fire Horse gear set for Roach, a dark red cosmetic set with a saddle, saddlebags and blinders that was handed out as a Twitch Drops reward around the Remastered launch. The Twitch Drops offer ended on October 27, so it is good to see that players who earned the set will now keep all of it when they start a New Game+ run.
PC only, no patch number
CD Projekt Red only mentioned PC, and the announcement did not give a version number or full patch notes. There is no word yet on whether the same fixes are coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S or Switch 2. The last big update was Patch 5.01, which reached Switch 2 earlier this month. For the issues the studio said it was looking at after launch, see our article on what CD Projekt Red is fixing next.
What it means if you are playing now
Make sure your PC version is up to date, then head back out with Geralt: plan your next setup in the Witcher 3 Build Planner, browse Community Builds, look up oils and Signs in Monster Weaknesses or build a deck in the Gwent Deck Builder. New players can start with our Beginner’s Guide, and the Witcher 3 Hub has everything else. We will cover the console versions of these fixes if they arrive.
