The third installment of CD Projekt Red’s acclaimed role-playing franchise is receiving a fresh visual overhaul, forcing players to upgrade their hardware configurations. Developers have rolled out updated system requirements for the enhanced version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, while a separate fan-driven project brings multiplayer functionality to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Hardware Demands for The Witcher 3 Remaster
Players jumping back into the updated continental adventure will need significantly more computing power than the game required at its original launch. The upgraded version demands a minimum of 12 GB of RAM and 60 GB of available SSD storage space, with the Epic Games Store version requiring an expanded 95 GB. To achieve a baseline performance of 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second on low settings, systems must feature at least an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor, paired with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8 GB, or Intel Arc A580 graphics card. Developers caution that frame rate drops may occur depending on the action taking place on screen. While the title functions on Windows 10, the development team no longer utilizes that operating system and cannot guarantee long-term compatibility for future updates.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Open Beta Introduces Multiplayer
Alongside the Witcher updates, the fan-developed modification project for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has launched into an open beta phase. The community-built expansion integrates fully operational player-versus-player combat, role-playing servers, rideable horses, voice chat, and custom community modes into the medieval simulation.
