The Witcher 3 Remains Beautiful Thanks to Such 4K Mods

The Witcher 3 doesn't age a bit thanks to community's hard work. We've put together some mods that will make the seven-year-old game look almost like new.

As we know, game trailers don't always match what we ultimately get. It's no different with swords used by Geralt in The Witcher 3. One modder decided to restore them to their original, more detailed appearance.

E3 Sword of Destiny

As the name suggests, with the help of a mod for W3 we get sword design that we saw both on the E3 trailer from 8 years ago and in the demos shown at the time. ScoutBr0 not only restored them to their original appearance, but also improved the quality of textures. He also added various scabbards and runes on the blades in 4K quality.

The Witcher in new quality

Since the release of The Witcher 3 a whole bunch of modifications have been created to improve the game's appearance. The quality has been increasing year by year, so below you will find some other projects designed to burn up your PCs while making the world of The Witcher even more beautiful.

Better graphics for Ultra settings

The modification released earlier this year cranks up the game's impressive visuals even more. If ultra settings are not enough for you, the project created by Nexuer improves shadow resolution (from 512x512 to 2K), grass density, water appearance, etc. However, it is worth noting that after installing the mod, the number of fps can drop by up to 10-15.

Caerme

This is not a single mod, but a full directory. Ferroxius has collected in one place dozens of projects that not only improve gameplay, introduce better textures, but also implement a lot of QoL elements into the game. So if you are looking for something to refresh The Witcher 3, this pack is definitely the way to do it.

NPC Overhaul

At the very end, a modification for those who appreciate the detail of the characters around us. As the name suggests, the mod improves the appearance of the characters we will encounter during the witcher journey. We are talking about, among others, the Bloody Baron, Vesemir, Triss, Yennefer, Dijkstra, Zoltan and many others. Before you install the mod, it's worth reading the description, as creator cnfilmm also recommends several other equally interesting projects.
