Is the "[free] later upgrade" for next gen consoles already applied to PC?
Regarding the above quote, I'm curious if the upgrades are already applied to the PC version through options or if the PC version will get an upgraded version in the future too.
I'm asking because I don't want to play the game until the best version is out.

Just because there are sliders and options, it doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't engine or asset improvements that are being saved for a later date. That's all I was getting it.
I doubt they'd do that because they'd get a lot of flak from people complaining that the game was downgraded for consoles, it just wouldn't make much sense to do unless they got paid a ton of money to make the PC version look like the console version. Even that wouldn't make much sense though because they could show off the PC versions graphics to show how good the game could look if the customer would buy the new consoles.

There is no need for an upgraded PC version because on PC you can change your graphical settings and any other graphical upgrades if they happened would likely just be a free update.
The reasoning behind the upgraded version for consoles is so people can buy it for the Xbox One and then not have to buy it again for the Xbox Series X.

My understanding is that the new PS5 is the equivalent to the highest end PC right now. So the majority of current PC players will be playing on lower settings than PS5 players for at least the first few years.
So the PS5 can definitely handle it.
Hm, you might be right. I just read that the PS5 graphics card is slightly inferior to an RTX 2080 Ti, which is unbelievable and definitely better than your average gaming PC.
PS5 processor is an 8 core, 16 threads with 3,5 GHz, so not top notch but good enough, 16 GB RAM aren't bad either.
Sounds extremely impressive for a console, especially if it's only 500 € as rumoured.

You are talking nonsense. It's not like porting the game is "save as .ps5". But the technology is already in the game, PC will have it.Originally posted by Rainhands:Originally posted by TommyEV:You guys have such an incredible imagination. The PC version will be the best it can be on day 1. No magical updates or patches will change anything.
This is a current gen game. If they are going to update it, that means going beyond what current gen can offer. So yes there will be an update for PC.
If the PC version is already the best the game can be as you claim, then surely all CDPR need to do is port that version over to the PS5. Why do they have to wait months for the update? Because it's not a port, it's an upgrade.

I'm seriously amazed that people here cannot comprehend any of this.
The PS4/Xbox One version will play a lower resolution, won't have ray tracing and will run at 30FPS (probably) - the PS5/Xbox Series X version will be higher resolution, possibly ray tracing, maybe higher FPS.
The PC version will be the full final version of the game, as in it won't get an upgrade.

The PS5 can handle everything the PC version can handle. So why would they be any different?
We will see in time, but I've no doubt PC version will also get an update.
