The Witcher 4 PS5 60FPS Gameplay Looks Good But There's a Catch
During The State of Unreal 2025, CD Projekt Red and Epic Games showcased a tech demo for the highly anticipated . The demo featured footage at 60 fps with ray tracing on a base PS5. While the footage shown is impressive, it may not be indicative of the actual game.
In a statement made to Video Games Chronicle (VGC), CD Projekt Red confirmed The Witcher 4 footage shown was not gameplay. Instead, it is a tech demo set in the game's world.
'This is a tech demo, and a first look at the cutting-edge technology powering The Witcher 4 – but not The Witcher 4 itself,' the statement to VGC said. 'It showcases the powerful foundation we're building in close collaboration with Epic Games to push open-world design further than ever before and the core systems and features we're developing using Unreal Engine 5.'
Just because this isn't The Witcher 4 gameplay, it doesn't mean all hope is lost. The tech demo does give some indication of the technical capabilities of the base PS5.
As seen in the video above, The Witcher 4 tech demo follows its main protagonist, Ciri, as they explore the region of Kovir as she tracks a monster. Along with a look at the protagonist and her horse Kelpie, we get a good view of the dense forests of the new region, as well as the port town of Valdrest.
'We started our partnership with Epic Games to push open-world game technology forward,' said CD Projekt Red Joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski. 'To show this early look at the work we've been doing using Unreal Engine running at 60 FPS on PlayStation 5, is a significant milestone — and a testament of the great cooperation between our teams. But we're far from finished. I look forward to seeing more advancements and inspiring technology from this partnership as development of The Witcher 4 on Unreal Engine 5 continues.'
The Witcher 4 was originally unveiled during The Game Awards 2024. A release date is not yet known.

‘Fortnite' Is Bringing Back Its Famous Chun-Li Skin After Almost Three Years
Fortnite With as many skins as Fortnite has amassed since its inception, it can often take years for some to rotate back through the item shop, even with how much it's expanded over time. Now, one of the most coveted skins in Fortnite is returning, Chun-Li, of Street Fighter fame (as well as other fighters Ryu, Blanka, Guile, Sakura and Cammy). It has been almost three years since the original Street Fighter skins introduction, as we last saw the early additions like Chun-Li in August of 2022, making it almost three full years since they've been back in the shop. Now, she and the other skins will be back tonight at shop reset, which takes place at 8 PM EST. Why is the Fortnite community so passionate about Chun-Li specifically? Well, she's just an icon, of course! She's arguably the most famous face of a storied franchise, Street Fighter, even passing up Ryu in popularity. She's got a great, kick-based fighting style that's a lot of fun to play. It's humorous watching her shoot an assault rifle when normally she's a hand-to-hand fighter. There may even be some fans of the film version of the character, where she was played by Ming-Na Wen in the 1994 movie. There's another upcoming Street Fighter movie being made soon, but we don't know who will play Chun-Li there. Fortnite There's just a lot of love for Chun-Li, and fans are celebrating her return. It's heartwarming, really, and if you missed her three years ago, now's the time to scoop her up and pair her with whatever emotes you might think would be funny to use with her.

3 Features Every Modern Anti-Fraud System Must Include
Marcin Nowak, board member at Decerto, has 20+ years in insurance, focusing on automation, technology impact and software solutions. If we compare the insurance industry to the human body, sales would be the heart pumping blood, while claims management would function as the immune system. Without a proper response from the immune system, even the most efficient organs won't prevent the body from collapsing. It's the same in insurance—overreacting to claims can damage customer trust, and trust is the very foundation of this business. Insurance is essentially a promise: when something goes wrong, someone will be there to support you. Unfortunately, some individuals try to exploit the system. That's why identifying fraudulent actors is crucial—not only to protect the company but also to safeguard honest customers from being affected. As I've mentioned in previous articles, I'm a strong advocate of iterative improvement rather than turning everything upside down. There's no need to scrap your existing claims management system just because it's weak in fraud detection. You can successfully implement—or integrate—a dedicated solution that feeds fraud probability assessments into your current process for further review by human experts. This approach aligns with modern IT architecture: leveraging specialized, best-in-class tools and orchestrating them to automate and optimize business processes. A modern, robust anti-fraud system should include AI-driven fraud detection, seamless integration with systems and business-controlled rules and scoring without IT intervention. AI has matured to the point where it can be used effectively without building models from scratch. While custom models are still valuable, the real breakthrough is AI's ability to 'read' and 'understand' documents in a way that closely resembles human comprehension. It can analyze data in various formats, extract relevant information, recognize context and draw meaningful conclusions. The first step in fraud detection and claim analysis should be document digitization and data extraction. Once the data is captured, inconsistencies can be flagged—these may indicate potential fraud. The next step is verifying that data against public and internal databases. For instance, if an invoice was issued by a company, the system should check whether that company exists and whether its address and identification numbers match public records. A truly effective anti-fraud solution should easily integrate with other platforms—whether through out-of-the-box connectors or by enabling the rapid development of new ones. While some developer effort may be needed, the key questions are: How long will it take? How complex is the integration? Is it prone to errors? Having clear answers helps ensure smoother implementation. Integration with public databases is also essential. In a recent client project, we applied a proprietary algorithm based on advanced matching logic to flag individuals or entities listed on sanction, watchlists or criminal databases. In practice, the system instantly compares customer data against international sources like the Dow Jones Watchlist. It can detect non-obvious similarities, such as variations in name spelling or transliterations—identifying potential matches within milliseconds. This is perhaps the most critical feature of all. If every change to the fraud detection algorithm has to go through the IT department, you might wait several months before it's implemented. Not because IT is slow—but because they're managing many priorities, and releases are done in scheduled cycles. Your fraud system should allow business users to create rules, assign weights and react quickly to emerging fraud patterns—without relying on IT for every adjustment. Fraud detection cannot be a static process. It requires flexibility, speed and autonomy. Only a system designed with these principles can truly protect your organization, reduce losses and maintain trust with your honest customers.
