Lol I don’t think it’s taken 2+ years to implement RTX shadows. Among other things I’ve seen over and over that they were adding in new content from the Netflix series.

60fps and increased resolution is all it needed. What are they doing with it exactly?

Don't why people are complaining, I know it's a pisstake which has taken two years now.
However CDPR did say months ago they'll release it Q4 of this year, so let's wait till October.

That's already available on Xbox. I want a proper remaster.

The Witcher 3 console patch is coming Jack. It’s going to come real soon, I promise. No more 30fps on your PS5.
I should’ve listened to you Rose. I should’ve bought the PC version.

There's a big difference between back-compat vs a native app from the original developer, with a lot of work put into. And haven't they also said they're adding in DLC content based on the Netflix series?
I'm not clear on the negativity surrounding this update. This update is a good thing, not a bad thing. Not sure why some people being that way about a well-deserved upgrade for such a beloved/ amazing game.

I think people are soured by Cyberpunk. There's literally nothing to complain about in regards to Witcher 3. You can play it on Xbox at 60fps, play it on PC with framerates much better than that and mods to drastically improve the graphics. I played through W3 again a few months back with about 30gbs' worth of graphic mods and the game is still stunning. I'd love to have a next-gen patch, but I highly doubt it'll give much more than what modders have already done on PC. Even if you don't have access to a high fps version or PC version of the game, it's still the great game it was when it was released. I can't even think of another studio that will release single-player content so far after release as it is.

I'm deliberately holding off on playing it again until the native Series X version is out. So stoked!
And what would this have to do with Cyberpunk? Isn't the whole reason they took it back in-house from Saber and delayed it was to ensure quality? That's the opposite of the reason behind Cyberpunk's launch issues, which were mostly stemmed from the game just not being quite finished yet. If anything, the delay from Q2 to Q4 this year and moving it in-house proves that this is them having learned from Cyberpunk, and not wanting a repeat of that disaster.

Good Lord... the game was finished in 2016. This is an update of the game to take advantage of the next-gen consoles. Let's temper down the ridiculous hyperbole, people.

I know you meant Cyberpunk, but for a moment I thought you were talking about something more criminal.

I had done by the time I posted that. What's your point?

You had said you didn't think it was ever coming out. As response to the thread bump from April's news of the delay when they brought in-house and announced it would Q4 instead of Q2. It's not even Q3 yet, so I'm unclear why you are saying it's "never coming out". They're probably going to drop it real quick out of the blue without a lot of notice, as it's a port and not a new game.

Cross reference the following with the time of my post.
So in summary...
They aren't showing anything, it's CDPR, it's not coming. The end.

I don't even expect it to be a particularly noticeable upgrade on the PC side, frankly.
It's probably something targeted mostly at those sad wankers begging for 60 fps while jumping from PS4 to PS5.

They have had enough feedback on it over the years. I give up myself on doing so on a variety of feedback because it felt like a complete waste of time.
Anyone still willing to do should tweet the likes of Jason Ronald, he sometimes responds to feedback/suggestions I guess.

They should stop wasting resources on this and add ray tracing and the like for xbox and call it a day. The last thing cdpr needs to worry about is 60 fps on console when it already exists.

Honestly i have no idea why they even bother with this and waste time on it. Its a 7-8 year old game, people by now are hungry for W4. People on PC already have massive mods that upgrade the game.
I myself am a console gamer and love W3 but to me this seems like such a waste of time and we know ppl are going to complain that it didn't change much bla bla. Game runs more than well as is.

Cancel it lets not make this another Skyrim situation.
(In my day games got released and devs moved on. Now we're getting remasters of 10 year old games)

That would be awesome, but I think we'll get 60fps, fast loading times (which is my selling point) and better textures, and that's it.This a remake at this point lol
Is it possible?

Because this for the console gamers who've never been able to play it with those PC like settings. It's beloved game and many people would love to finally be able to play it at 60 fps/ultra settings.

I wish they'd hurry up, i've been holding off playing Blood & Wine for this next gen update and i'd love to delve back into that world, such a fantastic game

Bought the game very cheap months ago to someday play this on my SeriesX. I´m not in a rush, since I already finished the game years ago on PS4 but the DLC will be new to me.

The console warrior spirit is strong with this one. 60fps patch is mostly just changing an ini file. Adding proper ray tracing and testing it on a game engine that wasn’t developed with that in mind is a huge undertaking.

Probably put 500hrs in this PS4+PC. Game that rivalled Planescape Torment 15 years later. What an achievement.

We already know about higher framerate, faster loading times, better textures, ray tracing effects, improved lighting, improved facial animations. They're also adding some Netflix's Witcher inspired DLCs.

They should add an outfit that doesn't look goofy. Aside from the starter set.

And that's probably why it's taking so long. The one x could already run native 4k or 60 fps with resolution fluttering between 4k and 1080p.
If it was just a resolution/fps bump it'd be out by now.

Following this reasoning they should do it again for PS6 when 120fps becomes a thing.

Good things come to those who wait, my friend.Still nothing to show.
Assuming you are replying here because of the Cyberpunk expansion news today, Witcher 3 update is a separate team of people, and I do not think that today’s news has anything whatsoever to do with the Witcher upgrade.
Given it’s an update and not an expansion, the time between announcing a date and releasing it may be like as little as 1 day to maybe a week or two, would be my guess.
The Cyberpunk next-gen versions were released the same day the stream about them aired.

I wonder if I should even care about this as someone who played it on PC originally.
