Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales has received an update on Switch, and it’s added a major new feature. Update 1.0.2 features minor stability and bug fixes, but the main change is the addition of cross-save support with the PC version of the game.
This extends to the Steam and GOG versions, so you can swap your saves back and forth and take your adventure on the go. This is a feature not available in the PS4 and Xbox One versions–one also available in the Switch version of The Witcher 3.
The Witcher 3 and Thronebreaker on Switch just received updates!
The Witcher update focuses on fixing Simplified Chinese localization and issues with PC saves, while the Thronebreaker update introduces save transfer between Switch and PC.

Speaking of the Switch version of The Witcher 3, it’s also received an update. Here’s what it adds:
- Updated fonts and localisation for Simplified Chinese
- Fixed an issue with multiple file transfers to/from Steam and GOG.COM cloud saves service, which resulted in blocked progress
- Numerous bugfixes
- Overall stability improvements
Thronebreaker released on mobile devices earlier this year, and that version also includes cross-save functionality with the PC version. The Gwent-focused spin-off earned a 9/10 in GameSpot’s review.
The Witcher series developer CD Projekt Red’s next game is Cyberpunk 2077, which releases for PC, PS4, and Xbox One on November 19. Sadly, it’ll skip Switch.
