Stunning The Witcher 4 Unreal Engine 5 Tech Demo Shows Open-World Running on Base PS5 at 60fps — With Ray Tracing
- CD Projekt Red and Epic Games revealed a Witcher 4 tech demo running on Unreal Engine 5.6 at the 2025 State of Unreal event in Orlando.
- The demo showcases advanced real-time rendering, ray tracing, and open-world features but is not actual gameplay and the final game remains at least two years away.
- The demo runs at 60 frames per second on a base PlayStation 5, uses a new Fast Geometry Streaming Plugin for faster loading, and features 300 individually animated NPCs in a new region called Kovir.
- CD Projekt confirmed The Witcher 4 stars Ciri, not Geralt, continues the Saga in a new trilogy, and plans no release earlier than 2027 to avoid past launch issues like Cyberpunk 2077.
- Despite some fan skepticism due to prior CD Projekt launches, developers assert the tech demo is legitimate and demonstrates the studio’s commitment to improved development and visual quality.
