Witcher 3 on PS5 Pro: The New Best Console Version?
We checked out The Witcher 3 Remastered on PS5 Pro and compared it to the base PS5, looking at ray tracing, performance, and graphics.
Ever wondered if The Witcher 3 can look even better than it already does? If you own a PS5 Pro, the answer might just be yes.
We recently took The Witcher 3 Remastered for a spin on Sony's upgraded console, pitting it directly against the base PS5. The goal? To see exactly what the extra horsepower does for Geralt's sprawling adventure. And after spending time with both versions, the PS5 Pro has become our new favorite console version of the game.
The comparison covered three big areas: ray tracing, performance, and overall graphics. On the base PS5, The Witcher 3 Remastered already looked and ran well, but the PS5 Pro turns things up a notch. Ray tracing in particular benefits from the beefier hardware, making the world of the Continent feel more immersive than before. Performance also holds up nicely, so you're not sacrificing smoothness for prettier visuals.
If you've already played through The Witcher 3 on PS5, you might be wondering if the upgrade is worth another look. Based on what we saw, the PS5 Pro version delivers a noticeable bump in fidelity and stability. It's not a completely different game, but it's the definitive way to experience it on a console right now.
For newcomers, this is a great time to jump in. The Witcher 3 Remastered on PS5 Pro offers the best-looking and best-performing console version we've tested. Whether you're revisiting old saves or starting fresh, the upgrade makes a strong case for playing on Sony's latest hardware.
Of course, the base PS5 still holds its own, and not everyone will feel the need to upgrade. But if you're a graphics enthusiast or just want the smoothest possible experience, the PS5 Pro version is hard to beat. It's the same epic RPG, just polished to a shinier sheen.
