The Witcher 3, one of the last decade’s most popular games, is becoming even better with its new-gen upgradation. The debut trailer excited the gamers with some action, making the long-anticipated Xbox Series X/S and the PS5 seem worthy. Interestingly, the latest version of the game will be free for those already owning it.
Livestream to Explain the New Game
CD Projekt Red developers explained on Wednesday in a Livestream what the fans can expect from the new version of the game to be released on December 14, after a year’s delay.
The console owners have to choose between graphics mode and performance, whereas the PC players will be offered a zoom-in camera view to producing a cinematic feel.
The open-world RPG, critically acclaimed, will now be more player friendly and visually impressive than the earlier versions.
The earlier Wild Hunt version of The Witcher 3 is available for PS4, Xbox One, PC and Switch. The Wild Hunt Complete Edition will launch for Xbox Series, PS5 and PC.
