It's better to wait anyway before downloading it. Or atleast wait until the Patches arrives to make it more enjoyable to play. It has some nasty problems (PC Version), but hey CPR story again with not a good start, atleast not as bad then it was with CP.

That's awesome!!! I'm going buy Witcher 3 game on GOG website because this game is best ever! Stunning game!!! Wow!

Nintendo Switch don't have ray tracing then will be disabled by default in setting.

Next new Nintendo Switch 2 will release in between year 2023 (late) or 2024 will have first time with ray tracing support due to new upgraded CPU/GPU/RAM/storage. I can't wait to look at Nintendo Switch 2 system info in near future. I maybe going to buy Nintendo Switch 2 if have many great features, more powerful speed and have backward compatible with old Switch games.

I don't own Nintendo Wii U and Switch because I skipped both hardware are too weak (slow CPU/GPU/RAM speed) and outdated.

I'm going to buy PS5 Pro in late 2023 or 2024. Because I had my old PS4 and want bring my old PS4 games on PS5 Pro system to keep playing.

I think you might be a bit too optimistic about those predictions. The next Switch will be upgraded, but I really doubt RT support is possible.

Similarly, I don't think a PS5 upgrade makes sense (unless Xbox does it first) as they could easily sell many more base models if they just fully stocked retail shops.

Cool.. Wonder if it'll introduce any new performance issues/ bugs etc.
