Cyberpunk 2077 Enhanced for PlayStation 5 Pro with Upcoming Free Update

CD Projekt Red has announced a free update for Cyberpunk 2077, specifically designed to take advantage of the enhanced hardware capabilities of the PlayStation 5 Pro. The update, arriving in the coming weeks, will focus on technical improvements rather than new content.

PS5 Pro Optimization and PSSR Upscaling

The forthcoming update will leverage the PlayStation 5 Pro’s expanded hardware, including the new PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Resolution Scaling) upscaling technology . PSSR is designed to improve visual fidelity and performance on the PS5 Pro.

No New Content Planned

Despite the technical enhancements, CD Projekt Red has clarified that this update will not include any new story content, DLC, or expansions for Cyberpunk 2077 . The focus remains solely on optimizing the existing game for the PS5 Pro.

A Boost for Night City

The update is expected to attract both new players and encourage existing players to revisit Night City with improved visuals and performance. Cyberpunk 2077 immerses players in a dystopian metropolis as mercenary V, who seeks a cure for a time-limited brain implant, all while navigating a complex narrative involving Johnny Silverhand, portrayed by Keanu Reeves.

Availability

The Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Pro update is scheduled for release in the “not-so-distant future,” with more detailed information about the visual improvements and performance enhancements to be revealed later this week . Cyberpunk 2077 is currently available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. The Ultimate Edition is also available on Nintendo Switch 2 and macOS.
