The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project 5.1 Download Available Now
The Witcher 3 already looks pretty impressive from a visual standpoint as it is, but thanks to the HD Reworked Project it is being made to look even better. Creator HalkHogan has now released the next update for the mod, which brings it up to version 5.1 and continues to improve the game’s visuals.
The 5.1 update is available to download now through Nexus Mods, and more than doubled the size of the existing file (709 MB to 1.5 GB). The following are the complete patch notes:
“Reworked to Ultra HD quality: all 3D rocks and most small stones, power stones, palisades, palisade gates, moss, seaweeds, spruces, pines, thatched roofs, stone walls, stone stairs, stone borders, metal cages, torches, Novigrad cobblestone, dirt, braziers.

Rocks and most small stones, power stones, roof tiles, stone borders, stone stairs, moss, seaweeds, metal cages, dirt.
Improved some water in different locations (water in sewers, some puddles, ponds, brooks). Now it looks and flows more naturally.”
The creator of the mod also released a new video showing off some of what’s in store with the new update, which you can check out at the bottom of this post.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Developer CD Projekt RED is moving on from the series to take on something much different and even more ambitious, which is Cyberpunk 2077. That game is a sci-fi RPG that looks to be bigger than anything they have ever done before, though it currently does not have a firm release date.
New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.
Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.
Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.
Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.
Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.
In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.
When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.
More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.
PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.
Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.
Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.
The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
