A hands-on account published September 28, 2026, reports a 60 fps target for the PS5 Pro Ray Tracing mode in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remastered. It also describes an unlocked Performance mode reported to reach up to 90 fps, and recommends the system’s 120 Hz setting only with a display that supports variable refresh rate (VRR).
What the PS5 Pro modes report
The PS5 Pro’s Ray Tracing mode has a reported 60 fps target. Its unlocked Performance mode is reported to reach up to 90 fps. These are different mode specifications: the 90 fps figure is a reported ceiling, not a stated average.
The PS5 Pro is also reported to use the same ray-tracing feature set as the base PS5, with a higher frame-rate target. The remaster offers Performance and Ray Tracing modes on base PS5 as well.
When to use 120 Hz and VRR
For this game, the hands-on recommendation is to enable the PS5’s 120 Hz setting when using a VRR display. Without VRR, 60 Hz was preferred. VRR lets a display adjust its refresh rate to match changing frame delivery, helping keep motion smooth when the frame rate varies.
Remaster-wide visual and controller changes
The remaster’s described visual changes include lighting, foliage, color grading, the user interface, menus and menu fonts. These are changes to the remaster generally, not features identified as exclusive to PS5 Pro.
The PS5 version includes DualSense features but has no motion controls; the Nintendo Switch 2 version has motion controls.
