- Xbox One: 1600x900/30fps - Xbox One X: Resolution Mode: Dynamic 2160p|30fps (common 2160p) Performance Mode: Dynamic 1440p|60fps (common 1260p) - Xbox Series S: Quality Mode: Dynamic 2560x1440p/30fps (common 1440p) Performance Mode: 1080p/60fps - Xbox Series X: Ray-Tracing Mode: Dynamic 2560x1440p/30fps (common 1188p) Performance Mode: Dynamic 3840x2160p/60fps (common 1548p) - The Nextgen patch will be available for free to all users who own The Witcher III GOTY on Xbox One on December 14, 2022. - This update focuses on applying several visual improvements on Xbox Series S|X, highlighting new textures on some assets, vegetation, longer draw distance, improved lighting, more post-processing effects, better anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. - Xbox Series X offers two modes: Ray-Tracing or Performance. Xbox S Series also offers two modes: Quality or Performance. - Ray-Tracing mode in XSX only applies to global illumination of the sun, moon and fire. XSS does not have Ray-Tracing. This mode also improves the quality of SSR reflections. - This Ray-Tracing improves the contrast of shaded areas, brightness contrast and ambient occlusion of some elements. - The improvements in Ray-Tracing mode are noticeable, but anecdotal. I don’t think it’s worth sacrificing resolution or framerate for the visual improvements that this mode brings. I would choose Performance Mode. - Xbox Series S has lower settings. Performance mode reduces draw distance, vegetation quality and shadows. - Xbox Series S|X have much faster loading times. - Performance mode dispenses with these lighting enhancements to deliver 60fps and higher average resolution than Ray-Tracing mode on Xbox X Series. This mode also reduces the draw distance and vegetation on Xbox Series S. - On Xbox Series S I recommend Quality mode, while on Xbox Series X I would choose Performance mode. - Some animations have been reduced, such as the interaction with water or the frequency with which the wind blows. Personally, I’m not convinced by the look of the water with RT on.
