Thanks to the video that shows the capabilities of “Wiedzmin 3” on the Series X console, we are able to evaluate the performance of super-fast loading times. While the full video is worth watching, the most exciting part of the movie is the Fast Travel clip.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt loads on the Xbox Series X so fast that the world will have a hard time keeping up with it.
With the launch of the Xbox X | S and PlayStation 5 series approaching the coming week, there is more and more information about the gameplay on next-gen consoles. This also applies to the backwards compatible version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt . If you believe the new video, it looks like the in-game fast travel option has proven to be worthy of its title on next-gen consoles.
This video shows the gameplay of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with backward compatibility on the Xbox Series X. The game does not yet contain special patches, hence a fast travel glitch. The video shows the player choosing a location to which Geralt is to get quickly, and then in just a few seconds he is transported. As you can see in the clip below, the speed at which the player traveled was so fast that the map couldn’t keep up loading. This is probably due to the Xbox Series X 1TB SSD, making loading times in games much faster than with the Xbox One.
Usually when we use current consoles like PS4 or Xbox One, loading times take quite a while, so it’s very exciting to see next-gen technology in action with previously released titles, even if they’re backwards compatible.
It is also worth mentioning that CDP RED has already announced the creation of an official, enhanced edition of The Witcher for PS5 and X Series S, which will certainly look even more impressive. It will not only use the SSD drive, but also ray tracing.
Are you waiting for the premiere of the next-gen console next week?
