The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt News

The Witcher 3 - Game of the Year Edition rated for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

The ESRB has rated the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Though we've known for a while that both new consoles are getting an upgraded version of the action RPG, developer CD Projekt Red has yet to detail what kind of enhancements players should look forward to.

The rating, spotted by Gematsu, was issued today for the Game of the Year Edition. This usually indicates an official announcement is close by, and since – last we heard - CD Projekt Red is planning to release this version before the end of the year, we likely we won't be waiting much to learn more.

That said, the developer recently indicated that it could slip into 2022, as it does not want to repeat the disastrous launch of Cyberpunk 2077.

This Witcher 3 mod ditches Triss for The Witcher 2's Sabrina Glevissig

Sure, the whole Triss versus Yennefer debate can be a little reductive in boiling down a complex web of relationships and intrigues into a contest. Still, Witcher 3 fans have their favourites and for various reasons Triss isn't really one of mine, so an option to swap her for another cool sorceress sounds pretty fun. A new Witcher 3 mod lets you do just that, switching Merigold out and The Witcher 2's Sabrina Glevissig in.

"Are you bored of dear darling Triss? Or are you fan of the Lodge? This mod can change your Triss into Sabrina Glevissig," modder Karkulizin explains. It sounds like it's essentially a re-skin mod, with no indication that it changes Triss' voiceover or quests, but the character model is impressive and would certainly give you the sense you were playing alongside a whole other character.

With Sabrina only appearing in 2011's The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - well, and that random Witcher 1 module a bit - it looks like the modder has had to do a fair bit of work to update her appearance to bring her into the much newer Witcher 3. And she looks just the part - instantly recognisable from the fantasy game series' second major title, but visually indistinguishable from the base game's characters.

Yup, The Witcher 3 looks to run just fine on a Steam Deck

While Valve yesterday were busy cracking open a Steam Deck, CD Projekt Red showed us a game actually running on one. They've posted a series of short videos of them playing The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt on Valve's handheld PC and yup, that seems to run well enough. The game might be a few years old now, but it's still one of best RPGs—and honestly the sort of endless sprawling game I might rather play on-and-off on a handheld.

CD Projekt has dropped a series of short Twitter videos showcasing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt running on a Steam Deck. The videos give us a glimpse of one of the best games of all time running on the hardware, and for all intents and purposes, it looks about as good as you'd hope for a handheld...
