Everything Coming To The Witcher 3 In The Free New-Gen Upgrade

The open-world RPG once hounded for post-E3 ‘downgrades’ gets a second chance on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

Everything Coming To The Witcher 3 In The Free New-Gen Upgrade

One of the best games of the last decade is about to get even better, and for free to everyone who already owns it. CD Projekt Red finally revealed everything that will be included in The Witcher 3’s new-gen upgrade, and even showed off a bit of it in action with a new trailer. The long wait for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions definitely seems worth it, and fans are already meticulously picking over granular improvements to shadows, reflections, and foliage.

 

During a livestream on Wednesday, CDPR developers went over what players can expect when the update drops on December 14 after a year of delays. One of the big changes for console owners will be the option to choose between performance and graphics modes, while PC players will have the option of a more zoomed-in camera view that adds a more cinematic feel to the game. Overall, the changes seem geared at making the critically-acclaimed open world RPG even more visually impressive and player friendly.
