Cyberpunk 2077
The next-generation update of “Cyberpunk 2077” (Cyberpunk 2077), which all PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S players have been waiting for, was finally officially launched early this morning. According to the original plan, CD Projekt Red was supposed to open it to players at the end of last year, but under the influence of the epidemic environment, the official finally made a decision to postpone it.
As part of the newly launched 1.5 version update, the next-generation update will bring players improvements such as 4K graphics, ray tracing, faster loading, and both PS5 and Xbox Series X can choose performance mode and ray tracing mode. The former can guarantee the game runs smoothly at 60fps with dynamic 4K scaling, while the latter can render more realistic shadows and reflections while maintaining 4K dynamic scaling and 30fps. The Xbox Series S, on the other hand, doesn’t have a mode option, it’s preset to run the game at 1440p 30fps. In addition, the PS5 version will also introduce the adaptive trigger function of the DualSense handle, and will also add active cards.
As for the part of the 1.5 version that benefits other platform versions (PS4, Xbox One, PC and Stadia) games, in addition to general performance and stability optimizations, it also includes improved balance combat, growth, and economic systems. The open world and map have also changed, new interactions have been added to romantic relationships, and the middleman system has been redesigned. CDPR has also added more customization in this version, such as V’s ability to change his appearance by looking in a mirror in his apartment or safe house.
The 1.5 update file size on Xbox and PC is about 50GB, and PS5 users need to manually go to the PS Store to download the update. If you are playing the PS4 version of the game, you can choose a save to save in the cloud, and then start the PS5 version to download and inherit. This method does not require PS Plus membership, but only supports one archive file. If you are playing on the PS5 console in a backward compatible way, after completing the next-generation update, the console will automatically read the previous save.
The complete update content can be read here, a lot of things are estimated to take a lot of time to read. It is worth mentioning that CDPR also took this opportunity to announce that PS5 and Xbox Series X/S users will be able to get a free 5-hour trial of the next-generation version of “Electric Rider 2077” until March 15th. Friends who experience this masterpiece remember not to miss it.
