Fans who have been waiting for the latest major update that would greatly expand content for one of the most highly-regarded game titles of the year are in for some good news. Patch 1.07 has been released for "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt." Mentioned some time ago, developer CD Projekt Red had said that the update is a huge one and will bring major changes and fresh new content for the game. 

The update is deemed so extensive that it rolls into one massive performance improvement and introduction of some new features and content for the game. Coming in at a download size of almost 7 GB, the patch builds on performance and graphics enhancements, and adds new features like additional cache locations for the main protagonist and massive changes to the game's inventory system. 

According to the patch changelog for the 1.07 update, posted on the developer's forums, aside from the new content and gameplay and performance fixes, it also introduces fixes on a number of known glitches and issues within the game. In addition, the new update also brings with it the 14th free DLC expansion for the title, a free costume change for character Ciri.
