The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will indeed have a day one patch, to make the first-time experience as smooth as possible.

Like many modern games, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will have its day one patch. According to the developer however, it wasn't born out of necessity.

Miles Tost, level designer at developer CD Projekt RED said in a few recent tweets that the game's day one patch is a result of the team continuing to work on the game even after it went gold.

@DavidMo92898701 We have one, but not because we need it, but because we want it to be the best it can be when it reaches your hands.
