Witcher fans have finally gotten one of the biggest updates for the game in years. The Witcher 3 Next-Gen update landed for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. While console players have been enjoying all the content that this new patch has brought, PC gamers are having a hard time. On many platforms, such as Reddit or Twitter, people have voiced their concerns. It would seem that The Witcher 3 next-gen update on PC has hindered the performance of many users. Some people have reported glitches when turning on Ray Tracing, while others are talking about constant crashes.
The Witcher 3 Next-Gen Update for PC is performing poorly for some users
While we all think that a PC might run a game a lot better than a console, it seems that we’ve gotten a weird case of the opposite. Gaming PCs are usually powerful enough to tackle any game. We already saw that Returnal’s PC release is asking for. But, a game that was released long ago with a graphical overhaul shouldn’t be too bad. Or that’s what we thought about The Witcher 3 next-gen update on PC. However, glitches, FPS drops, and crashes have been constant on this platform.

The Witcher 3 Next-Gen Update Patch Notes
As you can see in the video above, Ray Tracing has been something that is affecting player experience a lot. While we know that consoles usually do Ray Tracing at 30fps, a PC shouldn’t have much trouble. But, it does with this update. Players are already complaining wherever they can with the hopes of getting a fix soon. On the other hand, some people are already looking for a way to roll back the update. Hopefully, CD Projekt Red will start working on The Witcher 3 next-gen update for PC soon to fix the issues. In the meantime, if you’re lucky enough to run it without issues, there’s a lot to explore in this new patch. There are new armors inspired by the Netflix show and even some great combat tweaks like a quick-casting function. So, get ready to try the new update on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
