The Funniest Glitches In The Witcher 3
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an amazing game, but it’s also rife with glitches. It’s not all that surprising. A game as massive as The Witcher 3 is bound to have a few teething issues this soon after release. It suffers from something I like to call “new game syndrome”. While there are a few serious bugs, luckily, they’re mostly harmless graphics issues that don’t have much impact on the overall game. And some of them are outright hilarious.
1. Floating Sex Head
There’s a good reason for this one being at the top of the list. YouTuber Chris Klos encountered a bizarre glitch during a sex scene – which reminds me, this one has an NSFW warning. Camera angles go crazy and limbs detach themselves, mostly from Geralt. His head ends up floating around in such weird positions, we can really only guess at what it was supposed to look like. It’s also one of the funniest things I’ve seen from this game so far. It’s best to just watch it for yourself:
2. Thirsty goose
When you’re hanging around the tavern in the game’s starting area, White Orchid, you will notice some geese walking around outside. But one of those geese must have decided it was time for a drink, as we can see from YouTuber Justin Dazet. A goose walks in and out of the tavern, somehow opening and closing the door with its super goose strength. Maybe it just can’t decide what to order.
3. Roach’s antics
If you’ve spent any time in The Witcher 3, you’ll know Geralt’s horse Roach doesn’t exactly behave in a conventional way. When he’s not randomly stopping in the middle of a gallop through the countryside or searching for some patch of grass to munch on, he’ll get into all sorts of crazy positions. Check out this video of Roach deploying his “landing gear” after fast travelling:

And here’s a lovely sample of Roach’s slick moves when he finds himself stuck at an odd angle on a cliff:
New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.
Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.
Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.
Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.
Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.
In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.
When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.
More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.
PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.
Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.
Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.
The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
