The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, the latest entry of the series developed by CD Projekt RED, is one of the best looking games released in recent years. The game's high quality graphics, however, have been made even better by a variety of mods released in the past few months, like The Witcher 3 HD Reworked mod, which introduces higher quality textures to the game. This mod in particular has been recently updated with more features, which will make the game look even better.
The new The Witcher 3 HD Reworked mod update includes high quality wood, ceramic and water textures, which make the game look very, very good. You can check out a video comparing regular and improved textures right below, and you can download the mod by going here.
Currently modification changes following stuff:
- Rocks (almost all)
- Spruces
- Toadstools
- Wood Logs
- Wood Crates
- Water Puddles
- Sacks (primary)
- Ceramic Roof
- Checkered Floor
This modification reduces performance?
It depends on your video card and its VRAM, but generally modification doesn't reduce performance. On my Radeon HD7970 3GB I have not noticed any decrease fps and stutters.
