CD Projekt RED’s celebrated open-world RPG The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt was a game changer when it launched in every sense. Before this game, open-world RPGs has a clunky combat system and side quests that were somewhat detached from the main story.

It all changed with The Witcher, as it brought choices to the story, it brought real consequences and it brought players the freedom to let their character’s beard grow as naturally to its full glory. With all this freedom and a bunch of romantic paths, this game had everything, and maybe that is why it was so successful.

And now the game is getting a next-gen upgrade, and those who had it for previous-gen consoles, get this upgrade for free. Let us take a look at the most notable things this game brings to the table.

Witcher now with Ray Tracing

Players would now be able to experience the world of Witcher with glorious ray-traced lighting and shadows. The developers have made it clear that the new upgrade would introduce ray tracing to the title.

4K textures and models

Developers have gone the extra mile and upgraded the textures and models of the game’s console version to 4k resolution. We are sure that everyone playing in the quality mode would have a more detailed look at the characters from the game.

60 FPS Mode

CD Projekt RED has introduced a performance mode that would be featured in the console versions of the game. Players would be able to hunt monsters without the fear of frame-rate drop now.

It’s a Photo Mode! Find a beautiful location, turn on the Photo Mode, and take awesome snapshots. The developers are finally adding a Photo Mode to the game.
