More and more games are adding official support for mods, and these elements created by the community often manage to make a game completely different from how it was originally released. Although there are several variants of them, some of the most commonly used combinations by users are those that allow us to change the visual section of a title, improving the graphics to levels we could not have imagined, as we can see with The Witcher 3 with more than 100 mods and textures 8K.
In a lot of titles we can find content customized by users, we can take as an example Skyrim, one of the games that has managed to stay alive for so long thanks to the community that has been releasing new modifications that change the title completely over the years. But there are many other games that have also received great support from the community since their launch, and The Witcher 3 is one of them, with the big difference that many of its mods do not seek to change the base game, but rather improve it to offer the most up-to-date experience possible.
A 2013 game that looks like it’s coming out in 2024, this is what The Witcher 3 looks like with mods and 8K textures
It can often be extremely difficult to believe that a game released more than ten years ago can have extremely good graphics, but it is also true that the greatest evolution in this aspect took place between 2010 and 2015, when titles were released that completely changed our view of video games. Although in this case, it is also true that compared to more recent releases it is normal to notice that a game is older, for example, if we take into account the fact that the textures are not as refined as they are now.
For those titles that are still extremely relevant today, developers often release anniversary editions with certain improvements, as we saw with the arrival of the Next-Gen of The Witcher 3 both on PC and console. But there is a point that companies may not be able to reach, and this is where users who create mods for games come into play, as they manage to make a title very different from the original by adding new functions and graphical improvements, as well as technologies that the title itself may not have included from the beginning.
This time we have managed to get our attention with a video that shows how one of the great games of recent years, created by CD Projekt Red, is being created. We can see how the modifications manage to make the title look like it was released in the last few years, making it impossible to see the years that have passed since its arrival. With more than 100 mods and with the change of textures to 8K, we can see how the game manages to make us see both the world and the characters with better graphics, making the graphical improvement in general considerable.
