‘The Witcher 3’ Is Finally Bringing The Best Part Of PC Gaming To PS5 And Xbox Series X/S

CD Projekt Red is celebrating the tenth anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with various initiatives, including an anniversary trailer, concerts, and developer discussions. An update scheduled for 2025 will enhance modding capabilities for The Witcher 3 on consoles, allowing PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S players to use mods previously available only to PC players. Console users will need a mod.io account to access these mods, while PC players can use other platforms like Nexus Mods. All mods must be approved by CD Projekt Red, and while simpler mods will work without the developer’s mod kit, those requiring code alterations will need it. Mod creation will remain exclusive to PC. The update aims to increase engagement among console players, who have previously had limited modding experiences.

I love that DOOM: The Dark Ages requires ray tracing, and I hope more games follow

DOOM: The Dark Ages requires a graphics card with ray tracing hardware, specifically at least an NVIDIA 20-series card, making older models like the GTX 1080 incompatible. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle also necessitates ray tracing capabilities, raising concerns about performance on existing hardware. Billy Khan from id Software stated that ray tracing significantly reduces game development time, allowing for real-time adjustments. Ray tracing has been part of the graphics card landscape for over seven years, with all current consoles supporting it. NVIDIA's latest RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 cards have faced driver issues affecting gameplay, while alternatives from AMD and Intel, as well as NVIDIA’s 30 and 40-series cards, can still provide good performance. Other studios, like 4A Games, have begun incorporating ray tracing into their development processes.
