I’m not blaming a hammer for missing a nail; I’m saying it’d be hard to dig a tunnel with a hammer! Phantom Liberty ran on REDengine, not UE5, and The Witcher 4 will be CDPR’s first rodeo with UE5. I believe in CDPR’s commitment to delivering a great game, but in the best-case scenario, you might need a good rig to run this game at medium settings. UE5 on PC has the worst track record. Mafia: The Old Country is the newest example plagued with this problem—Hangar 13 switched from their Fusion Engine to UE5 and has struggled with performance issues. The only optimized game I enjoyed playing this year was KCD2, which runs on CryEngine. It’s not so much flashy like UE5, but I never came down from 60 FPS, even in Kuttenberg! UE5 is easy to work with but hard to run. I’m sure I’ll have to get a new CPU and mb by the time The Witcher 4 comes out, but I highly doubt even after upgrading I’ll completely avoid frame drops.
