Just before Christmas, CD Projekt Red brings us a streamlined adventure spectacle with a free next-gen update. We tell you what is in the new version.
Today, December 14, 2022, the free next-gen update for the successful action RPG will be released. The Witcher 3 since 2015. We were allowed to pre-test the enhanced version on PlayStation 5 and dive back into the kingdom of Temeria.
In essence, the update aims to bring the game to a modern visual level, using the performance of next-generation consoles and PCs with the latest components. For PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, there are two graphics options to choose from: performance mode up to 60 fps or ray tracing mode with a target of 30 fps. Both modes take the game to a much higher level of graphics.
It’s especially nice that five extremely useful fan mods are now integrated into the game as standard. Thus, console users can also enjoy some popular mods, such as the World Map Fixes Mod, which fixes inconsistencies between the game world and the minimap. In addition, you can now enjoy reworked textures and 3D models thanks to The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project Mod – a definite plus, especially for those who played the game on previous consoles.
In addition to various bug fixes, the gameplay has also been updated. Now Geralt can survive a fall from a great height, and three run speeds and a sprint can be performed using the analog stick on the controller. Exploring the game world is not only easier, but also takes it to the next level. In short: the next-gen update should definitely motivate some gamers to take the game off the shelf again.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition available digitally for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC from December 14, 2022, and includes all previously released free DLC, as well as the two main expansions Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. It will also be available as a free next generation update for all owners of any version of the game on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The release of the physical version of the Complete Edition is scheduled for spring 2023. We definitely take our hats off to the improved version and immediately return to this great world.
