“Witcher 3” on Xbox YouTube Channel Uses PC Footage, Not Xbox One

Whoops. Wrong Platform.

Kotaku noticed that Xbox on YouTube was advertising "The Witcher 3's" PC version of the game instead of the Xbox One version.

Yep, despite that XBOX logo stamped on the bottom right corner of the above video, this is actually footage from the (presumably better-looking) PC version of the game. The easiest way to tell? You can run the YouTube video at 60 frames-per-second; the developers of The "Witcher 3" (out May 19 for PS4/XB1/PC) have specified that the console versions are actually locked at 30 FPS.

A representative for developer CD Projekt Red confirmed to Kotaku this morning that this footage is indeed from the PC version. Jason Schreier

An update from both Kotaku and Xbox on YouTube has noted that the footage shown is from the PC version, not the Xbox One version.
