Recall that the next-gen version will receive support for scaling and global illumination technologies, shadows, shading and reflections using ray tracing. In addition, the Ultra+ graphics settings profile will appear, which will increase the draw distance, increase the quality of textures and foliage density, as well as character detail.
In anticipation of the release of the patch, journalists were invited to the office CD Projekt Redwhere they were shown a new version of The Witcher 3 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. They were given to test the ray tracing modes and check the 60 FPS mode in different locations of the game: for this, the developers prepared a selection of saves.
As the journalists noted, the difference does not immediately become obvious, but in comparison with the original, it is immediately noticeable that the environment looks more alive and rich in details, the colors are bolder, and the world itself is deeper and more believable.
We will see an updated version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on December 14th. The patch will be free for all owners of the game. A number of improvements will also be coming to older consoles, including the Nintendo Switch.
