Everything Coming With The Next Free Witcher 3 Update

Hot off the press from the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Twitch stream, we’ve got a new, free, upcoming update for the most popular of Witchers!

The update releases on the 14th of December.

PC is getting some juicy visual upgrades:

Raytracing!
And extra UltraPlus tier of settings that adds even more video juicyness to your screen, if your PC can handle it.
Photo mode, which allows you to stop the scene and take a picture. There’s lots of settings (Depth of Field, Effect, Overlay) to customize your screenshot in the game itself, similar to what sliders you’d expect off Instagram.
The ability to alter the camera angle is coming, letting you offset it to the left or right, bring it closer, take it further etc.

Console:

Dynamic resolution scaling.
30/60fps modes.
Quality/performance modes.
Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for PS5 controllers.

More stuff!

Quick-cast mode (on both PC and console), allowing you to quickly cast signs without having to pause and go into the radial menu.
The default map has a new filter that hides the billions of questions marks from your map, making things easier to see.
Geralt can now walk slowly, and menacingly.
Subtitle size can now be scaled.
You can now pause the game during cutscenes.
The game will now also be fully voiced in Chinese (Simplified), and various improvements are coming to other languages as well.
You can now hide the minimap and objectives during exploration, for the vibe.
Patch notes will drop sometime before the update officially comes out.
There’s a new quest to attain some show armor’s schematic, but most of the information will be kept as a surprise!
Cross-progression is coming! You’ll be able to move your saves from one platform to another using your CD account.

The free update drops on the 14th of December and is basically a free remaster! What part are you most excited about? Let us know in the comments below!
