This meets my expectations, i didnt expect huge improvements, but it would have made me crazy if they went above and beyond the expectations but i understand its not worth it from a business perspective so i welcome the free update.
At first i had few doubts and fears that the update will make it worse but im grateful the update keeps it the same but with better graphics and few more tweaks that i liked like immersive HUD and cleaner map and few more features like quick signs.
I think the trailer does not do the visuals justice, im sure in the game it will be a big difference, i won't replay the whole game, i will just go to Blood and Wine area and walk there, its going to be awesome without the minimap and all that.
So yeah, no complaints, free update when some other devs may charge like 10$ for it, so i think its a cool addition and the best thing about it is that its optional so if i dont like the changes i can always go back.

The difference is obvious just by looking at clouds and the tree, but sure.
It's really not a big difference but I'll take it anyway since it's free.

Shame they didn't show any direct comparisons. Youtube compression ruins the image but what can you do.

I was expecting almost nothing and even that I'm disappointed. As I played the game in PC and now I wanted to replay it in PS5, this trailer looks exactly what I played at the moment. It's a lot less effort than that hi-res mod commented in this forum.
I understand it's free, but for a shameful update like this you don't make a livestream or create hype during months, you simply release the patch and that's it.

Yep. Paying 10$ extra for updated res and slightly better AO for GOW ragnarok on PS5? Worth it !
Getting a free upgrade on a 7 years old game with massively improved textures, revamped models & foliage, SSR, RTGI, RTAO, photomode, enhanced camera, reworked gameplay features, improved UX, additional options ? what a bunch of worthless devs !
Am I doing it right ?

What? I get being disappointed in graphics to some degree but there's a shitton of other changes. All for free.
Nothing shameful about it.

It's perhaps the greatest game ever created. What more do you need?

Looks great, going to replay (despite never replaying anything, and having completed it and the DLC) because it’s amazing and been long enough that I don’t remember much of the detail.

So is it integrating that great HD Reworked mod from Nexus? If so that's rad, as it really provides a massive improvement to the games visuals.
Any word on what other mods are being integrated? I'm ready to inject this into my veins. Here's hoping that my aging 2080 can still pull out a V on this at 1440p. It does fine with Cyberpunk for the most part so I'm holding out hope.

Fux yeah. Let's go bro I'm ready to do it all again. Here's hoping with DLSS I'm pleasantly surprised with performance.Yes to the first.
Not sure about the other mods.

You know, at first I couldn't tell myself, but now it's so easy to spot the differences...

They prefer to pay.
For all this for free is fucking amazing. Can't wait for Digital Foundry make the comparison, but not using the PRO version on PS5 is already a big win.

I do remember those posts from weeks and months before saying that it's probably just resolution and framerate bump. Now we have much more and it's still not enough.
I'm just happy I can play my favourite game of all time once again in even better quality and with some additional content.

I wasn't hyped and wasn't expecting much. But i am very pleasantly surprised.
Love their dedication to the witcher franchise even though I was very upset by how cyberpunk turned out.
Bought Witcher 3 + dlcs on Steam again as a thank you for the love they show this product.
Now I just need to upgrade my rig so I can fully max out eveything and play at 4K before jumping into Witcher 3 again.
My first time playing it was at 1080p with mid details and 50ish fps
Gonna need to wait for RDNA3 release though. Wanna see all those benchmarks first.

Came here for this.
I hope this confirms once and for all that this company was lying about that whole thing. If it was really "weak" PS4 and XONE, how come no one was questioning why the PC version didn't just look like this? Wouldn't PS5 and Series X have more then enough power to do that version of the game? Sooooo clearly it never existed and its simply yet another lie by the publisher.
I knew when this was announced they'd be stuck between a rock and a hard place as how can you lie about a downgrade, admit it happened after the fact and the pretend you never made those comments when stronger hardware comes out that literally can prove your original claim? So this simply shows that such a thing likely never existed its just another lie to put on the list with this publisher.
If it was held back by last gen, whats the fucking excuse now?
Its why I tell folks to relax on all that talk about PS4 or XONE being too weak for CP2077, why are those missing features not on PC? PS5 or Series X? Are we 100% sure those "issues" are based on hardware and not based on the team itself lying about why those features are missing or downgrades or something? =)
Maybe all that this game ever was going to be, was exactly what we got in 2015 and the hardware had nothing to do with it. Whats next? We need PS6 to make the thing they claimed existed in 2013?

Bah, you peasant, viewing this on $DEITY knows what kind of inferior hardware. Here I'm with my Thinkpad X1 Carbon with an OLED screen, and I can tell you that...
...it's like comparing Xbox and Playstation screenshots, the consoles do seem to have different black level outputs. But which one is better is just completely subjective.

uses 'M$' - What year is it? Not 2002.
My only complaint was how early they announced this
