The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has received an enhanced PS5 remaster, which refines controls and combat but adds no major new content. The update is free for owners of the base game, and the review finds that its changes help the landmark role-playing game feel more modern, even though some combat frustrations remain.

Geralt now turns, sprints and stops more responsively, while smoother movement and Roach’s improved handling make exploration and horse races less awkward. Combat changes include more reliable sword hits, revised enemy behaviour and a reworked skill tree with perks that reward specific actions; however, Geralt can still target the wrong foe in crowded fights. The review says the improvements are most noticeable over longer play sessions.

  • The free PS5 remaster improves movement and horse controls.
  • A reworked skill tree makes combat more reactive.
  • Some targeting problems remain in fights with several enemies.
