If you’ve been looking for a reason to replay The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and have a PS4 Pro, then now is the perfect time to do so. Developer CD Projekt RED has announced that the game’s PS4 Pro patch is now live, bringing a couple of enhancements to the game when playing it on the more powerful console.
It looks like this is going to be a relatively small improvement when all is considered, as the developer only confirmed that the game now supports 4K resolution and has received a slight performance boost. This shouldn’t be too surprising considering how massive the game is, and even a slight performance boost will be great to see considering how smoothly it runs as is.
This will likely be the last major update that the game will receive outside of a potential Xbox One X patch, as it originally launched in 2015 and already received countless updates post-launch. It’s also supposed to be the last adventure for protagonist Geralt, with the game capping off his story pretty nicely. There were two excellent story expansions released for the game, which were Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. The developer isn’t against ever returning to the series, but it likely won’t happen for a very long time.
CD Projekt RED is currently in the process of developing their next major game, which is Cyberpunk 2077. The game is an open world RPG that can be played either from a first-person or third-person perspective, and is set in a metropolis called Night City. While the game is still a long way away from release and a firm release window has not yet been revealed, the developer has noted that the game could see a release at some point in 2019. The game is set to be the studio’s biggest game by far, with the development team being notably bigger than the one that worked on The Witcher 3.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
