Bringing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition took roughly 12 months of work, loading time cut 40% compared to PS4/XB1

It just keeps getting more impressive

Seeing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition on Switch is a technical marvel. It must have taken a ridiculous amount of time to get that port up-and-running, right? In an interview with Eurogamer, CD Projekt Red's Piotr Chrzanowski says all in all, it actually took a year.

Over a year now. Well it depends on whether you want to add the business stuff, but then I would say it's around 12 months at this point.

A year is nothing to sneeze at, but to think that the entire game, from first word of the port to now, took just a year is pretty crazy!

Following that, we also learn that the Switch version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition is going to have at least one leg up on its PS4/XB1 counterparts. Believe it or not, the Switch version will see loading time cut by at least 40% compared to the other versions. This likely has to do with lowered texture quality and geometry, but it's still a nice improvement!
