The Witcher 3 Next Gen Update: three months on, I’m still not convinced
^ Stay tuned for our full video appraisal of The Witcher 3’s current state, full of glorious ultrawide footage!
The best bit of PC gaming is having the speed and power to be able to whack everything on Ultra and marvel as your rig effortlessly spits out a silky-smooth rendition of whatever game it is, with graphical features activated that would make the latest consoles wave a little white flag and melt into a puddle of liquid convenience.
The worst bit is when you can’t whack everything on ultra, and so have to Fiddle: endlessly tweaking a bewildering array of switches and sliders in order to find the perfect balance between performance and visual fidelity. Incessantly calibrating a piece of software with all the complexity of one that monitors the status of a nuclear reactor, not just for your specific hardware configuration but also for your own tolerances as a human being. Some people don’t mind a bit of screen tearing if it unlocks some performance headroom. Others, like me, abhor it: it’s synonymous with “unplayable” as far as I’m concerned. Some people can take or leave raytracing. Me? If it’s there, I want it turned on, otherwise I’ll be wincing every time a screen space reflection rudely disappears when I dare to tilt the camera.
CD Projekt has financially written off and seemingly rebooted development on its Witcher spinoff game
New Witcher Game Plans Have Changed | GameSpot News
The Witcher game Project Sirius appears to be undergoing a revamp
It looks as though The Witcher spin-off Project Sirius is being retooled, according to CD Projekt Red.
This is according to a regulatory announcement released by the firm, which states the company has evaluated the scope and commercial potential of the original concept and is formulating a “new framework” for the project.
Sirius is a codename for the game developed by The Flame in the Flood studio Molasses Flood, which CDP acquired in 2021. Set in The Witcher universe and created with support from CDPR, the game will differ from past productions by offering multiplayer on top of single-player gameplay, including a campaign with quests and a story.

When I look outside my window I just see a bunch of mist and rain.

GOG kicks off their Spring Sale starts today, with literally thousands of games discounted, some up to 90%. It’s running until April 3rd, and to give you a place to start we’ve highlighted some of our favourites on our GOG page.
The Witcher 3’s latest patch improves overall stability and performance, makes other fixes
CD Projekt Red has released the 4.02 update for The Witcher 3 next-gen, improving the overall stability of the game.
One of the main takeaways from the patch for PC is that it improves CPU cors utilization in the DX 12 version.
Other PC-specific fixes include the restoration of horizon-based Ambient Occlusion. If you previously turned Ambient Occlusion off, you should do so again. You can find it in Options → Video → Graphics.
