Witcher 3 Gets Xbox One X Performance Patch

When the Xbox One X was announced, it was deemed by Microsoft to be the “most powerful console ever made”, and it’s certainly lived up to that hype. SInce the console can play any Xbox One title, many developers have taken the opportunity to use the console’s graphics cards and processors to make their games even more stunning. To give it “The Power Of X”. Well, CD Projekt Red has now joined that list, as they’ve released a patch for the Witcher 3 on Xbox One X.

“The Xbox One X upgrade patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt introduces a number of graphical features and tweaks to the game across two visual fidelity options, 4K Mode and Performance Mode.

In 4K Mode, the game and all its additional content will run in 4K resolution (or supersampled on a non-4K display), featuring enhanced shadows, ambient occlusion and texture filtering, as well as higher resolution textures and gameplay at 30 fps. Switching to Performance Mode will enable dynamic resolution scaling, rendering the game at a resolution of minimum 1080p and up to 4K, while targeting 60 fps during gameplay. Both modes will additionally feature support for HDR, making the game look more vivid when played on an HDR-capable display.”

If you’ve played the game on PS4 Pro can expect another performance patch themselves soon. Details on that coming later.
