"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has just received an upgrade patch for Xbox One X enhancing the game to take advantage of the additional power offered by the console. Similar patch for PS4™ Pro has been released a few weeks ago," said CD Projekt Red in a statement. "In 4K Mode the game will run in 4K resolution (or supersampled on a non-4K display) with stable 30fps gameplay, whereas Performance Mode enables dynamic resolution scaling (from 1080p up to 4K) while targeting 60 fps during gameplay. Both modes support HDR."
Further reports indicate that while the patch is meant for Xbox One X only, they plan to roll out HDR support for Sony's PlayStation 4 in the near future. They have yet to announce a specific release date, but more information is expected in the coming months. In the meantime, for those who own monitors and gaming rigs that can support 4K, the patch for "The Witcher 3" on Xbox One X is now available.
"The Witcher 3" is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.
