The creator of the ElAnalistaDeBits channel analyzed the updated version The Witcher 3 and released a video comparing the next-gen PS5 version with the regular PS4 and PS4 Pro version.
Of course, in every aspect the PS5 version of the game looks much better than on PS4 and PS4 Pro. For the latest Sony console, developers have worked hard on better vegetation, draw distance, more effects, anti-aliasing and more.
As noted earlier, there is a performance drop in ray-traced graphics mode. The creator of the video advised to run the next-gen version in performance mode at 60 FPS.
It is also noted that tracing in the game only applies to the global illumination of the sun, moon, and fire. RTX is not involved in reflections and shadows.
Updated The Witcher 3 Releases December 14th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. The nextgen version will be free for owners of the original title.
