Despite the many hot game launches that crowned 2022, a large part of the players were most eagerly awaiting the next-gen update to the 7-year-old The Witcher 3. After months of intensive work, the Wild Hunt refresh patch finally hit consoles and PC. Apart from the controversies that arose with this update, it must be admitted that the world of the White Wolf has indeed become much prettier thanks to it. However, the new Witcher 3 RT Fidelity Mod fan mod shows that … it can be even better.
The Witcher 3 is one of the most modded games in the world. It seems that after upgrading to the Complete Edition, not much has changed in this matter.

It just so happens that lovers of the modding scene have another reason to be happy. Here in the network appeared a worthy power called Witcher 3 RT Fidelity Mod.
