A couple of days ago, CD Projekt RED revealed that the next-gen version of The Witcher 3 has been delayed. Still, PC gamers can already get a taste of next-gen graphics/visuals thanks to mods.
The following 8K video showcases the game with Reshade Ray Tracing and over 100 mods. As such, it can give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from The Witcher 3 Next-Gen.
Now as we’ve already said, Reshade Ray Tracing is not as good as native Ray Tracing. Nevertheless, this RT solution can improve the graphics of pretty much all games (and can simulate native RT). However, and while The Witcher 3 Next-Gen may have better Ray Tracing effects, it might not pack all the improvements that all the other mods bring to the table.
The good news here is that Digital Dreams has shared the list of mods used. As such, and by downloading them from here (scroll down to the “modlist 2022” file), you can make the game look as good as in this video.

Speaking of The Witcher 3, we also suggest the following mods. The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project is a must-have mod and does not need any introduction. The Dark Souls-inspired combat mechanics mod, Humans of the Continent 4K-2K Textures and the Witcher 2 Overhaul Mod are also three cool mods. And then there are Shades of Iron, True Fires Mod, and a mod that adds a new standalone quest. And finally, there is an amazing first-person mod.
Have fun!

100 mods….
Crazy huh? Im even suprised they all worked together with the game booting up and 0 crashes..
100 mods …a hundred… Let that sink into you for a moment.
I have 200+ and it runs fine.
Amazing you must be a modwizzard ??
Yes, “next-gen graphics”, with four generation old antiquated problems, like clipping and such.
Truly, the golden age of gaming is reborn.
So where is the aftermath video of the PC catching fire and exploding ?
Lol so next gen John …. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/249ad93976d3e9d666b2ea1285ab6b6a570bd70ae55d356be1cbdf944f89d43a.gif
lack of good TAA in witcher 3. shimmer/aliasing makes last-gen games look bad
Jesus f*king Christ with these articles and videos
It looks… Good… Lots of grass, trees and long view distance and slightly more realistic color, but still doesn’t look near photorealistic.
“gives us a glimpse at Next-Gen Graphics”
No it doesn’t. It shows us what an old gen game at 8k looks like.
This digital dreams channel is clickbait garbage.
They just happen to have a powerful PC that can run things with any number of mods yet they completely ignore if something even looks realistic.
It’s just slapping on reshade mindlessly.
When Next-Gen Graphics = Pixelized Indie gaming = more fun than some AAA Corporate games…
And yet, here you are… clearly adhering to your principals. Yes, absolutely… using the words “next gen” is one of the reasons this entire world is in deep sh*t.
witcher 3 has fallen into the skyrim hole. all graphics, no gameplay mods. dark souls and elden ring slaps them around with ease.
