The next-gen upgrade version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has finally been revealed, after years of waiting and anticipation, so is what we've seen really worth all the waiting?
Many fans of the game seemed to not be completely convinced of the changes in the game through some of the screenshots we saw in the last review. Although it is too early to judge this new “Next-Gen” update that the game has received.
However, we can learn more about the differences between the two versions, albeit in principle, through several videos that we have put together for you, highlighting the updates that have occurred on more than one device.
