The Witcher III Wild Hunt has been one of the greatest video game successes of the last ten years and, proof of this, is that thanks to all that it has sold and the countless versions and consoles for which it has come out, it remains among the best sellers one month after another. So if you want to know how it will look in the new generation and how to download the patch, we will tell you in detail here so that you can enjoy the improvements from now on.
How pretty it looks now!
The fact is that CD Projekt RED has been publishing some videos in which it is possible to check all the updates that we are going to find. It must be said that it is difficult for a patch of this type to work magic and something that was designed for PS4 and Xbox One almost a decade ago, looks as if it had been designed for PS5 or Xbox Series X. We can perceive that anchorage in the past always in its general appearance, in the modeling of many screen elements, such as characters, enemies or certain objects on the stage, which have not gained a greater definition like those that we do see in titles designed expressly for the new machines.
Only the textures (which is not little) and the environmental effects are the ones that add that more advanced aspect and that will cause the game experience to be completely revamped. This is how we were able to verify it a few days ago in the content published by the famous “Bit Analyst” on his YouTube channel, when he took all the passages published by the Poles in their pre-launch videos to make a complete comparison. And the result is surprising.
As you can see, the main differences are in the overall look of the scene, the lighting, and the visual effects of the environment. Reflections on wet surfaces when ray tracing, occlusion, and texture definition are applied have been sharpened for improved rendering at 4K resolutions. Hence, this technological push is helping the game to sell again in recent weeks.
How can we download it?
Well, this is the easiest part of all because CD Projekt RED is going to give us the patch if we have The Witcher III Wild Hunt in our PC, PlayStation or Xbox library. If this is your case, and if you have the game already downloaded on your console or computer, the patch will simply be applied today, December 14. If this is not the case and you want to enjoy it again by installing it from scratch, then all this new information will be integrated into the general client.
In this way, either because you had it or because you just bought it, the next generation patch will arrive camouflaged within the new Ultra graphic mode as an unprecedented option to enjoy this title. In other words, you will not be able to return to a mode prior to the new generation patch and it will not be marketed under a different name. The Witcher III Wild Hunt will simply be that good, graphically, from now on.
