free update
Players who already own copies of The Witcher 3 on PC, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will not have to pay anything for the Complete Edition. The new version will come as a free digital update to the existing game, to take advantage of current computers and next-generation PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
Will it be out for PS4 and Xbox One?
On veteran consoles from Sony and Microsoft, the game will receive the new mission based on the Netflix series The Witcher, as well as quality of life changes and bug fixes. However, these platforms – and even Nintendo Switch – will not have the graphical improvements of The Witcher 3: Complete Edition.
The update is coming to PS4 and Xbox One on December 14, alongside the new version for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. The Nintendo Switch game will receive the new content at a later date.
What are the new graphics modes?
The Witcher 3: Complete Edition will have two graphics modes to choose from: Performance and Ray-Tracing.
- In Ray-Traced mode, the game uses this technology to display improved global lighting and shadows, ambient occlusion, and improved reflections. In this mode, the frame rate is locked at 30 FPS.
- In Performance mode, Ray-Tracing is disabled but the game runs at a much smoother 60 animation frames per second. In both modes, The Witcher 3: Complete Edition features resolution and texture improvements over the original game.
new animations
Geralt got new animations. Now, for example, the witch can be seen tearing herbs while harvesting plants. Other characters have also improved their animations, including Roach, faithful companion of the monster hunter. For example, with the update, Roach is able to walk backwards and can kick enemies. He raises his head when he wades through the water, among other moves that increase the player’s immersion in the action.
Will The Witcher 3 have more updates?
This update to the Complete Edition is the last major update the game will receive, but rest assured, The Witcher 3 will still receive new patches in the future, but no brand new content. After The Witcher 3: Complete Edition, the CD Projekt franchise team will focus on the new Witcher trilogy.
What improvements will The Witcher 3 receive?
In addition to the new graphics options, The Witcher 3: Complete Edition includes the following improvements, among others:
- Faster throwing of signs;
- Adjustable interface visibility;
- New three-dimensional map;
- Improved character models;
- New special effects for the environment;
- Automatic collection of herbs;
- Three walking speeds depending on lever pressure;
- Alternate ride mode;
- Radial menu improvements and changes.
On PlayStation 5, the game will support the unique features of the DualSense controller, which conveys the sensations of Roach’s gallop, the impact of weapons in combat and other interactions of Geralt with the environment.
What is the Netflix series DLC?
The additional quest based on Netflix’s The Witcher will see the player search the devil’s pit in the region of Velen for equipment. It is an area just beyond the starting region of White Orchard and is inhabited today by only a few humanoid enemies and a large locked door.
Netflix’s The Witcher DLC opens the doors and reveals a mine, with a haunted atmosphere and a big boss at the end. The quest, intended for level 15 characters, will take about half an hour to complete.
Rewards include the Forgotten Wolven armor, similar to the costume worn by Henry Cavil in Season 1 of the series, and it can be upgraded to a “Masterpiece” version, which has the look of Cavil’s costume from Season 2.
There’s also a new look for the Dandelion bard and Nilfgaardian armor, based on the costumes from the Netflix series. These cosmetic effects can be activated in the game menu. As far as is known, the song “Toss a Coin for the Witcher” is not included in the soundtrack.
What is the release date?
Free for owners of the original game, The Witcher 3: Complete Edition will be available from December 14th on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
