CD Projekt Red has given us our first real look at The Witcher 4, but the big surprise here is that the game's Unreal Engine 5 tech demo — just showcased during Unreal Fest — is running on a base PS5.

The studio says that the current build runs at 60 frames-per-second with ray tracing on Sony's current-gen system, and it looks stunning.

The demo gives us a glimpse of the game's vast open world, complete with a run-through of a nearby town, some dialogue, and more.

Now, it should be stressed that this is a build of The Witcher 4 specifically designed to show off Unreal Engine's features. Yes, it's running on a standard PS5, but it's not necessarily indicative of the finished product.

If the adventure really does end up running at 60fps with ray tracing, we'll have to pick our jaws off the floor.

CD Projekt Red says it's striving to make this the most immersive open world RPG it's ever made, and it certainly looks the part so far.
