CD Projekt Red did indeed provide us with a small preview of what The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition will contain in addition to a release date of December 14th. The improved PS5 re-release of the game will have all of the bells and whistles you’d anticipate, along with some potential surprises, according to the game’s official press release.

There will be “hundreds of visual, performance, and technical improvements over the original” in the PS5 version. However, this is where things start to get interesting. This contains features like “ray tracing support” and “better load times.”

“A range of mods integrated into the experience” is mentioned. Now, The Witcher 3 has always had a thriving modding community on PC, and throughout time, tons of different things have been added to the game. It appears that several tweaks were selected and formally included to the adventure. We advise limiting your expectations, at least for the time being, because it’s unclear how extensive this mod integration will ultimately be.

The press release also states again that the Complete Edition would have “new supplementary content inspired by The Witcher series from Netflix.” This may contain new armour sets or perhaps new Geralt cosmetics, according to our speculation.
In any event, CDPR will demonstrate a lot of this material via a webcast the next week. Although we don’t yet know the exact day and hour, we will in due time.

What does everything sound like to you? What sort of visual jump do you anticipate? Do you understand the mod integration? Please feel free to guess wildly in the space below.

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: We Need Non-Gamers to Access Our Content

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.”
