New 8K texture packs for The Witcher 3 enhance the visual appearance of the characters.

Yesterday, two new The Witcher 3 texture packs in 8K resolution were published online, further improving the look of the game's two protagonists. Developed by Instanity, a company known for their quality texture packs for other games, these new packs are high quality textures that significantly improve the appearance of Geralt and Yennefer while maintaining their original look. Users can download these two packages from Nexus Mods .

Even though The Witcher 3 is a relatively old game, CD Projekt Red gave it new life with a next-gen update last year. The update added support for ray tracing on current generation consoles and PC, and gave players a choice of settings to improve graphics and gameplay, making the game even more attractive. After the release of the update, modders resumed work on the game, creating many mods that improve performance and visuals, including projects such as the HD Reworked Project NextGen Edition, which is still in development, and fixing issues that remained unresolved. While CD Projekt Red has released several patches to address various issues, they haven't released any new updates in recent weeks.

The Witcher 3 is now available on multiple platforms including PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. The Witcher 3 Next-Gen free update was recently released and includes many quality of life and gameplay improvements in addition to technical improvements. On PC, players can enjoy the all-new Ultra+ graphics preset. This update also adds four ray tracing effects: global illumination, ambient shading, shadows, and reflections. However, the last two effects are only available on PC and are not available on consoles.

With all these improvements included, the game looks fantastic. The game already had great graphics to begin with, but new textures, including 8K packs, make it look even better. Draw distance has been greatly improved, and reflections and shadows are more accurate and sharper. However, the real star was ray-traced global illumination, which took the level of lighting in the game to new heights.

Thus, the next generation update, along with new texture packs and other mods from modders, allows players to enjoy The Witcher 3 at its best.

It should be noted that the next generation update and improvements are available for free, which makes them even more attractive to fans of the game.
