The original release of the game was defined by these lengthy loading screens for starting the game, then another when fast traveling, and yet another upon dying.

Furthermore, it's entirely possible that The Witcher 3's next-gen update gets delayed into 2022 as many other titles have been this year. Fans that simply can't wait for the next-gen update should not feel bad about jumping in right now on next-gen hardware as it won't be the exact same experience as it was on the eighth generation of consoles. There are, of course, many other improvements to be made through an official next-gen port that the console hardware just can't do by itself, largely in terms of graphics. Load times and frame rate for the acclaimed RPG are pretty significantly improved when running The Witcher 3 through the system's internal SSD. While the company is still hopeful to release both official next-gen versions of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 at the end of the year, the next-gen consoles are already making big improvements just through the hardware itself. After CD Projekt Red's recent and very public misstep with Cyberpunk 2077 on consoles, many gamers are likely to return to The Witcher 3 on PS5 and Xbox Series X to get their RPG fix.
