Digital Foundry experts have praised CD Projekt RED for improving the performance of The Witcher 3: Next-Gen on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X

CD Projekt RED has put a lot of effort into improving the technical state of the non-xtgen version of The Witcher 3.

Many patches have been released and, as Digital Foundry experts point out, the work of the Polish game designers deserves praise.

Here's What We Know

After update 4.02, the console versions of the famous role-playing game got the best performance.

On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X the updated The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt now runs at a stable 60 FPS with no noticeable changes in graphics. Moreover, on the Xbox Series X the performance is slightly higher than on the Japanese console.

As always, the only exception is the central square of Novigrad, in this location the performance still drops, but not as much as it was before. And problems with raytracing haven't been fixed. This option only works correctly on Xbox Series X.
