The studio released The Witcher 3 's current-gen update a few years ago,
which revamped the visuals, controls, and performance, so we could expect something similar for when Songs of the Past releases.

"These requirements will become effective starting from the next update,"
CDPR said, though there's no release date just yet.

Rumors that another major update for the 2015 role-playing game (RPG) began circulating last year. It's speculated that Songs of the Past could set up events that take place in The Witcher 4 , which is set to star Ciri, and is now in full production.
