The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has received a big update, and some of you might be wondering how to enable an FPS counter. Players may struggle to find one as The Witcher 3 doesn't have one in the in-game settings.

With the new and improved version of The Witcher 3, some players will probably be expecting their game to perform much better. New features include improved graphics, ray tracing, ambient occlusion, and a plethora of small improvements to the game world. Popular mods have also been incorporated into the game.

Players on high-end PCs and next-gen consoles can expect the game to look considerably better than before, and hopefully, it performs better too.
