AnswerThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Is there a bloom setting in The Witcher 3 Remastered on consoles?
Short answer
Yes, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2. Patch 5.01 added options for Bloom, Light Shafts and Depth of Field to the graphics settings on those platforms, according to CD Projekt's patch notes. The notes don't say what choices the Bloom option offers.
What patch 5.01 added
On PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, patch 5.01 added three graphics options: Bloom, Light Shafts and Depth of Field. CD Projekt’s separate 5.01 notes for Switch 2 list the same three options in the graphics settings. Both sets of notes also list improvements to Bloom and tone mapping among the patch’s visual adjustments.
Where the options are
CD Projekt’s 5.01 notes place the options in the graphics settings and give no fuller menu path. On PS5, patch 5.01 also fixed a bug that reset settings each time the game started.
Version and platform notes
The answer comes from CD Projekt’s 5.01 notes for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S and its separate 5.01 notes for Switch 2.
Related questions
Can you turn off bloom on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S?
CD Projekt's notes don't say. Their patch 5.01 entry for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S adds a Bloom option to the graphics settings but names none of its choices. Push Square describes the new options as letting you tweak bloom, light shafts and depth of field.
Is there a Depth of Field option on consoles?
Yes. Depth of Field is one of the three graphics options patch 5.01 added on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2, together with Bloom and Light Shafts.
Does the Switch 2 version have a bloom setting?
Yes. CD Projekt's 5.01 notes for Switch 2 list options for Bloom, Light Shafts and Depth of Field in the graphics settings, the same three as on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Does the Bloom option help if Remastered looks too bright?
CD Projekt's patch notes don't tie the Bloom option to brightness. The same 5.01 notes list improvements to Bloom and tone mapping for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2.
