Witcher 3 getting Xbox Series X update, Ray Tracing

Really cool, I’ll go try that out. But it will only pick what you got installed, I assume? Or actually from your full library?

This actually would be ideal for use in the Game Pass section.

I read elsewhere that this is due to the fact that Sabre are majority based in Russia, if so nothing strange here as many companies are pulling out of doing business with Russian companies for ethical reasons.

I’m also looking forward to this port but some things are more important than gaming.

Here’s an article about the leak rumor from the end of March.

Oh, that changes things. Completely understandable then, I didn’t know who was making the port.

Fuck Putin.

Yeah, that makes much more sense.

Well, shit… Just as I was about to start finally playing this for the first time. I wonder if it would be worth holding off just a little while longer.

Nice I played the game for the first time last year despite being a fan of the books. I completed the main campaign, and I’ve been waiting for this to start the DLCs.

But I won’t have time, I’ll be busy with Starfie…

Awesome news, time to replay this in the fall then!

I take it the plan is still to offer the upgrade for free to owners of the last gen version?

Damn, not even that bad of an idea really. I finished the whole main game and everything in it and also Hearts of Stone in 2020, but the game is so good…i might replay it again too. Or not…because after Witcher 3 open world fatigue set in for me big time and for a long time too.

Blood and Wine however…

Haha yes that is probably exactly how it is… :joy:

It’s not the smart choice… but TW3 is so damn good and it has been a long time since I played it. Played it first on PC, spent a lot of time with it there, I played it again on Xbox when I became a consolist but didn’t finish it that time.

That is certainly true, I own more than a thousand games I haven’t played yet. Of those, I’d say about 400 are games I realistically want to play and of those maybe a little more than half are actually good or worth it. Still quite a lot, haha.

There’s a lot of sheit from humble bundles etc. in there heh.

Since I have never been past the beginning of the game, it is gonna be a brand new experience for me still.

Yeah, this is gonna be my fall game now for sure. Nothing big interests me enough to buy day one this year so it’s backlogging, replays and small stuff on Game Pass for the foreseeable future.
