Cyberpunk 2077's PS5 Pro patch is a significant upgrade, offering players a visually stunning experience with enhanced ray tracing and performance. The game's latest iteration introduces three new play modes, each catering to different preferences and hardware capabilities.

Why it matters

The ray tracing and performance optimizations make Cyberpunk 2077 a more immersive and responsive game, solidifying CD Projekt RED's commitment to supporting older titles and their reputation as an exceptional developer.

The details

The Ray Tracing Pro mode is a visual spectacle, providing a console experience akin to the fully-featured RT suite on PC. It boasts improved sun shadows, local shadows, sky lighting, and emissive lighting, resulting in a more immersive and realistic cityscape. However, it's not without its compromises, as RT reflections are limited to car windows and glossy surfaces, and the iconic RT puddles are absent. Despite this, the RT Pro mode still delivers impressive visuals, with internal resolution around 1440p and PSSR upscaling to 4K. The game's performance is solid at 30fps, but drops may occur at 40fps. The 60fps RT mode strikes a balance between visuals and performance, targeting 1440p resolution and prioritizing frame rate, often achieving 60fps with occasional CPU limitations. For those seeking even higher frame rates, the non-RT performance mode is available, pushing the frame rate beyond 60fps with VRR active and offering a crisp 4K resolution.
