These mods are so good they were added to The Witcher 3’s Next Gen update

Several community made mods have become an official part of The Witcher 3’s Next-Gen update

The Witcher 3’s Next-Gen update is due to become available on December 14th, offering gamers improved visuals, enhanced gameplay, and new content to the 2015 classic. With the game’s next-gen update, PC mods for The Witcher 3 will be entering the spotlight, with several community made favourites becoming an official part of the game.  

The most famous mod to be officially added to The Witcher 3’s next-gen version is Halk Hogan’s The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project, which enhances many of the game’s textures and models to improve the game’s visuals. We have written about this mod in the past, celebrating its ability to make The Witcher 3 look fantastic on high resolution screens, and how the mod uplifts the game by improving all of its lower quality assets.

In addition to Halk Hogan’s The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project, Denroth’s HD Monsters Reworked mod has also been added to The Witcher 3’s next gen update to improve the quality of monster textures and maps, another upgrade that makes The Witcher 3 look great on high resolution screens.

Alongside these two visual enhancement mods, The Witcher 3’s next-gen version also has teiji25’s Immersive Real-Time Cutscenes mod, chuckcash’s Nitpicker’s Patch, and Terg500’s World Map Fixes mod. Alongside CD Projekt Red’s own enhancements, these mods add further polish and enhance the quality of CD Projekt Red’s own next-gen efforts.   

    Added various mods and mod-inspired content to the game to improve visuals and overall game quality. We’ve included some community-made favourites in addition to our own modifications in areas such as environment and cutscene improvements, realistic pavements, and many decoration upgrades.

Community-made and community-inspired mods include:

• The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project by HalkHogan

• HD Monsters Reworked by Denroth

• Immersive Real-time Cutscenes by teiji25

• Nitpicker’s Patch by chuckcash

• World Map Fixes by Terg500

The Witcher 3’s Next-Gen patch is a celebration of the Witcher franchise and the community that has grown around the series. Modders can now call themselves official parts of The Witcher 3’s next-gen update team, and their efforts can now be seen on PC and consoles as official parts of the next-gen The Witcher 3 experience. 

The Witcher 3’s next-gen version goes further than most next-gen updates, making now a great time to replay 2015’s best RPG. The Witcher 3’s next-gen patch launches on December 14th on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
