The Witcher 3 Complete Edition Graphics Comparison: PS4 Pro vs. PS5

The highly-anticipated next-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is finally upon us, and if you're curious how title looks after some graphics improvements, then check out this comparison where we place the PlayStation 4 Pro version of The Witcher 3 side-by-side the updated PlayStation 5 version. In this video, we compare both the Ray Tracing graphics options as well as the Performance mode. Both the PS4 Pro and PS5 versions of the game were captured in 4K.

The Performance mode found on Playstation 5 targets 60fps with a dynamic resolution. The PS5 Ray Tracing mode targets 30fps with enhanced visual fidelity.

the small visual improvements aren’t going to make the game much better, but the frame rate shorter loading times and the new gameplay and animations are taking witcher 3 to the next level

Im most impressed by the increased foliage density. Makes a big difference in exploring an open world game having believable environments

[Bandyk]

Being able to finally play with 60fps was definitely worth the waiting. The Bloody Baron Quest lives rent free in my head. For so many years now. Poor Baby.

It's still a masterpiece, the cutscenes, the music....

[mrromanow]

The biggest change that does influence the visuals the most is the vegetation and foliage imo.. It really didn't age well and many trees, bushes, plants and grass had really flat textures but now it looks incredible!

I’m so jealous of all the people that get to play this for the first time! Definitely going to sink another 50 hours into this game.

This will be my first time playing it. I'm really looking forward to it I've always felt left out.

[imbradman]

This is going to be my first time playing the Witcher. Can't wait for the PS5 version!

[oOcitizenOo]

Aaah, that music. Get nostalgic chills every time!

[PappaAbe]

Damn, the Skellige theme always makes me wanna roam with roach looking for either adventure or a nice view. Can’t wait

[FNDTV]

this game aged really well even without the visual update. gameplay, graphic, story & the soundtrack is top notch.

[greyman]

Damn rockstar would have charged us like 70$ for this.

[jjohn]

The game was so well made, you can barely tell the difference between generations.

[CreamTurtle]

This update deleted my previous gameplay. 🤦🏼 time to deep dive into this master piece again. Sorry family and friends. I’m on a mission.

[msytpsyt]

The best OST music ever. I've come back to this song so many times... beautiful Skellige music <3

[bbloomfield]

Squeezing more life out of my PS4 Pro and $10 GOTY disc version of the game for my first playthrough!
Huge respect for giving last gen the update.

[chrish]

Keep in mind that this is completely free to all of us who already own the last gen version

[CodyHimselfXI]

The PS4 version, hell the Switch version still holds up extremely well. Ray tracing just makes everything look almost real.

[ZxRiGxZ]

Graphics/environment is INSANE fantasy adventure is incredible, top tier

[youngjut]

Honestly the upgrade is a breath of fresh air, this is truly the greatest game ever being made even better
