The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt developer CD Projekt Red confirms that it's going to debut a brand new patch for the PC version on Monday, June 1, worldwide in order to fix the XP glitch that doesn't reward players with experience from main story quests. PS4 and Xbox One versions will get the solution shortly afterwards as part of update 1.04.

The Witcher 3 launched last week and delighted plenty of role-playing game fans with its impressive mechanics, the solid adventures for protagonist Geralt of Rivia, and the many different quests included in the title by developer CD Projekt Red.

While the game is pretty stable on most platforms, it's been plagued by a few pesky problems in specific situations, including a pretty nasty glitch that doesn't allow players to earn experience from main story quests.

A fix for the XP glitch is coming next week

The studio mentioned that a fix is coming and now its Community Manager, Marcin Momot, confirms on the forums that the solution is going to appear for The Witcher 3 on the PC platform on Monday, June 1, presumably as part of patch 1.05.

Meanwhile, PS4 and Xbox One users will have to wait a bit longer, as the certification process means that they're at the mercy of Sony and Microsoft's approval systems.

The fix is going to arrive for The Witcher 3 on the two consoles as part of patch 1.04, hopefully next week.

Affected players can still enjoy the game

Momot also highlights that, while the glitch doesn't give players XP in main missions, this doesn't severely affect their chances to complete the game at a level that's well within the thresholds of its initial strategy.

"At the same time we want to shed some light on the issue. First of all, it doesn't impact the game balance in any significant way. Also, you will be able to finish the game with your character achieving a level within the threshold we had in mind when we designed the game," he explains.

As such, expect to see new updates for The Witcher 3 next week. Meanwhile, patch 1.03 for the Xbox One platform is still scheduled to appear later today, May 29.
