Better yet, the update is live today. With CD Projekt having pushed out the patch directly after the stream was over. This means if you have the PS4 or Xbox One version of Cyberpunk 2077, you can update the game and dive right in. For PS5 owners, you will need to have the PS4 disc inserted into the console if you own the disc version. As an update will not happen without it. Naturally, you’ll also need to keep the disc in the console while playing. If you don’t yet own a digital or disc copy, you can pick up the digital version on PSN right now for 50% off ($24.99) until March 2.
The Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 upgrade ushers in loads of changes
There’s quite a big collection of improvements being made to the game with this patch. And while there are no new jobs or gigs, or any new story-related content, this is by all accounts a pretty massive patch. The PS5 and Xbox Series X upgrades include both performance and ray tracing modes. Each has their own benefits. Performance mode for example allows for 60 frames per second, 4K resolution, and medium/halfres SSR quality. On the other hand, you can choose to play with the ray tracing mode. Which bumps the fps down to 30, but includes ray-traced local light shadows and the SSR quality jumps up to high/halfres. So there’s a bit of a tradeoff there but that’s to be expected. As it’s been the same for every other game that has received similar next-gen updates. Here’s just some of the other changes being added: CD Projekt wanted to highlight the biggest changes during the stream, and you can find those in the image above. Aside from the next-gen upgrade, this patch also includes some free DLC. Players will now have access to new weapons, for example. You can also now access four additional apartments for V. As well as customize with them with six different styles. Keep in mind that this isn’t every single addition to the game with Patch 1.5. The patch notes are actually quite extensive, so not everything is listed. If you want to read the full patch notes though, you can do so here. And you can also watch the patch trailer below.
