The Witcher 3 PS5 has yet to receive a score lower than 90
Looking at all the critic reviews on Metacritic thus far, The Witcher 3 has yet to receive a score lower than 90. If and when more reviews come in, the metascore of 96 may change, but don’t expect any drastic changes.
This is quite a feat for CD Projekt RED, indicating that The Witcher 3’s next-gen version still holds up well despite being an upgrade of a seven-year old game. This version comes with a plethora of quality-of-life changes and improvements, as well as new features – all free for existing owners. PS5 features include DualSense capabilities, 3D audio, Activity Cards, Performance Mode, and ray tracing support.
CD Projekt RED has also integrated community-made mods including 4K textures and models. There’s a lot more to The Witcher 3’s PS5 version than what we’ve listed here, making it one of the most impressive upgrades on modern platforms thus far.
