While we all wait for The Witcher 4, one modder has made some refinements to The Witcher 3 to make it look like a next-gen game.
Knowing how good CD Projekt Red is at designing gorgeous open worlds, The Witcher 4 is probably going to be one of the best looking games of the decade.
And while we don’t really know what it’ll look like outside of that vague tech demo from last summer, graphics mods for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt give us a good idea of what to expect.
As shared by Digital Dreams, a digital artist who uploads a lot of modded video game demonstrations to their YouTube channel, this new set of mods for The Witcher 3 makes it look like a PlayStation 6 game.
Running the game at 4K and 160 frames per second, the video shows Ciri walking around various sections of The Witcher 3’s open world map, including White Orchard, Velen, and the Skellige Islands.
The mods they’re using features improved resolution for the game’s various ground, foliage, and buildings textures. Foliage also looks a lot better, as do character models for the player and NPCs which populate the world.
I love how the foliage and water looks at 7:45, check it out below.
The Witcher 3 With Ray Tracing Looks Gorgeous
Meanwhile, Digital Dreams has also added Ray Tracing to The Witcher 3 with this mod, allowing lighting and reflections to also look a lot crisper compared to the base game.
The environments look massive transformed and I’m a big fan if this is how The Witcher 4 may look on the PlayStation 6.

To top it all off, they’re using a mod to swap Geralt’s character model with Ciri, which should better reflect what The Witcher 4 will look like, considering Ciri is the main playable character of the upcoming sequel.
If you’d like to get your game looking like this, you’d better have a decent PC. And when I say decent, I mean top of the line like what Digital Dreams has.
According to their PC specs, Digital Dreams is using a Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, along with a Founder’s Edition NVIDIA RTX 5090 and 64GB of RAM. Even prior to the global RAM shortage crisis, this was already a pretty expensive setup.
I know for a fact if I tried playing with these mods installed on my PC, it would probably start to melt at anything above 30fps.
