The Witcher 3: Upgraded Version for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S

The Witcher is coming to next-gen consoles, but not in the way that many would have wished. As announced by CD Projekt Red, developer of the saga, what we will see will be an update with graphic and technical improvements to enjoy all the power of the new hardware.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with improved graphics

The Witcher 3: Upgraded Version for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S

The Witcher fans are in luck. It is true that we all would have liked CD Projekt Red to announce a new installment, but it has not. However, no one can deny that receiving an upgraded version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is not exciting.

This new version will arrive in the form of an update for both PC users and for all those future owners of a new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X if they already have the version for PS4 and Xbox One. In the latter case, it is not well known how it will be the process of obtaining the title, but we are clear that we will not have to pay again. But let’s go to the important thing, what changes.

Well, as its developers have commented, if you have a PC with the latest hardware or you plan to buy a PS5 or Xbox Series X, you will be able to enjoy a wide repertoire of improvements at a visual and technical level. This includes graphics that will take advantage of technologies such as ray tracing, textures with a higher level of detail and resolution, etc. And in the technical section, the changes will be more aimed at improving loading times so that the gaming experience is even more fluid.

All these improvements will be applied by CD Projekt Red both to the base game and to the two expansions that were subsequently released: Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. And also all that other minor additional content posted.

So, if you’ve ever been drawn to playing The Witcher 3, now may be the ideal time. And even if you already enjoyed the game at the time, doing it again with those graphically improved scenarios is also more than enough reason to repeat the experience.

The Witcher 3, an inexhaustible game

News like this from The Witcher 3 and its update with graphical improvements can be repetitive and in part somewhat disappointing. Not because it is unattractive, but because it seems that the new generation of consoles is not going to have great releases that demonstrate their full potential as it should. And for a good season you’ll have to settle for remakes and enhancements of existing games.

However, what cannot be ignored is that The Witcher 3 is an inexhaustible game that even several years after its launch continues to attract new players. Also part of that interest is due to the aroused by the recent Netflix adaptation, which took the adventures of Gerald de Rivia to series format.

If you haven’t played yet, do so because it’s worth it. And surely it also helps you to know a little better everything that is told in the series. Although in that sense nothing better than books.
