Yes, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is coming to the Switch, and some people are so excited they're even buying Nintendo's hybrid console just to play it, but the game isn't going to look as good as it does on other platforms.

As spotted by VG247, The Witcher's Twitter account has been answering some fan questions on the port. We now know that it's 'roughly' 32GB, and you also won't be able to import saves from other consoles

The biggest news from the impromptu Q&A is probably that the game will run at 720p while docked and 540p in handheld mode.

I don't think many of us were expecting it to look as good as it does on a suped-up PC or high-end console, but 540p in handheld is a tad rough. Still, impressive it runs at all on Nintendo's console.

The Witcher 3: Complete Edition will be available on Switch later this year. Until then, have a look at the trailer below to see it for yourself.
