The Witcher 3 Remastered dropped alongside the Cosmos update, and a side-by-side comparison video has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Fans have been pointing out that fire no longer reflects in the water or illuminates its surrounding environment the way it did in the original 2015 release, with several other lighting and environmental details also appearing to have regressed. The comparison has been circulating across Reddit and X, with the most common reaction being disbelief that a remaster released in 2026 looks worse than an 11-year-old game in certain areas. CD Projekt Red has not yet responded to the specific criticism. The remaster is free for existing owners and does include a substantial list of improvements elsewhere - enhanced combat, a skill tree revamp, new finishers, and a looting rework among them. #thewitcher3 #thewitcher3 #geraltofrivia #thewitcher3wildhunt #gamingnews
