Witcher 3 Remastered PS5 Pro Graphics Modes give players a 60 FPS ray-tracing option with PSSR and a Performance mode that can reach up to 90 FPS when VRR is available. CD Projekt Red confirmed both options in its September 29 launch announcement for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered.
Witcher 3 Remastered PS5 Pro Graphics Modes are one of the clearest platform-specific upgrades in the new version. The standard PS5 also benefits from the wider Remastered visual overhaul, but CD Projekt Red specifically calls out PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, 60 FPS with ray tracing and the higher unlocked Performance target as PS5 Pro features.
Witcher 3 Remastered PS5 Pro Graphics Modes explained
CD Projekt Red describes two important PS5 Pro performance targets. With ray tracing enabled, PSSR is used to deliver a smooth 60 frames per second. Performance mode instead prioritizes frame rate and can run at up to 90 frames per second with VRR.
The phrase up to matters for Witcher 3 Remastered PS5 Pro Graphics Modes. CD Projekt Red does not promise a locked 90 FPS in every scene. The higher mode is presented as an upper performance target that works with Variable Refresh Rate, while the ray-tracing option targets the steadier 60 FPS experience.
Does ray tracing run at 60 FPS on PS5 Pro?
Yes. CD Projekt Red’s launch announcement explicitly says PSSR enables 60 FPS with ray tracing turned on. That is the main visual-quality option among Witcher 3 Remastered PS5 Pro Graphics Modes for players who want the remaster’s lighting and ray-tracing work without returning to a 30 FPS target.
Remastered also reworks lighting, rendering, foliage and environmental, NPC and monster textures across the game. Ray tracing is therefore part of a broader visual update rather than the only change visible on PS5 Pro.
How does the 90 FPS Performance mode work?
Performance mode can reach up to 90 FPS with VRR. To benefit fully from that Witcher 3 Remastered PS5 Pro Graphics Modes option, your display needs to support the relevant high-refresh and Variable Refresh Rate features. A television limited to 60 Hz cannot display 90 unique frames per second.
The 90 FPS figure should also not be read as a guarantee that every location holds that number continuously. CD Projekt Red deliberately uses up to language. Dense cities, combat and complex scenes can place different demands on the hardware.
What is PSSR doing in Witcher 3 Remastered?
PSSR is Sony’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution technology for PS5 Pro. CD Projekt Red specifically connects it with the 60 FPS ray-tracing presentation in Witcher 3 Remastered PS5 Pro Graphics Modes, helping the console combine enhanced image quality with the higher ray-traced frame-rate target.
That does not mean every PS5 Pro mode is identical apart from frame rate. The practical choice is whether you want to prioritize the ray-traced visual presentation at 60 FPS or use Performance mode to push beyond 60 FPS on compatible VRR hardware.
Which PS5 Pro mode should you use?
For a 60 Hz television, the ray-tracing option is the more meaningful headline because the display cannot show the full benefit of an up-to-90 FPS output. On a 120 Hz VRR display, both Witcher 3 Remastered PS5 Pro Graphics Modes become useful choices and you can decide whether smoother response or ray-traced presentation matters more.
There is no universal best setting because the display is part of the equation. If VRR is disabled or unsupported, the headline advantage of the higher Performance target is reduced. Check the PS5 video settings and the television’s HDMI configuration if the expected VRR option is unavailable.
Is PS5 Pro required for Witcher 3 Remastered?
No. The Remastered upgrade is also available on regular PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. Witcher 3 Remastered PS5 Pro Graphics Modes are enhanced options for Sony’s Pro hardware, not a requirement for playing the remaster.
Existing eligible owners receive Remastered as a free upgrade on supported platforms. The PS5 Pro version simply adds the dedicated PSSR and performance support confirmed by CD Projekt Red on launch day.
