CD Projekt RED has announced the console version of the patch should be available soon, though no date or time has been given.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt released Tuesday, May 19th on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

My Opinion:

Cool! CD Projekt RED has always been good about patching games and I am not surprised here with the fast turn around.  I’m sure the console patch is right around the corner.  I honestly have been enjoying the game so much to even notice the hiccups.  Go buy this game right now!
