You can now download the free update to\u00a0<b>Cyberpunk 2077<\/b>, which makes full use of the console\u2019s hardware to provide optimised performance, enhanced visual fidelity with upgraded <b>PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution<\/b> (PSSR), advanced ray tracing features, and more. The update is designed to leverage the full capabilities of the PS5 Pro hardware, and while I have yet to see the difference in visuals pre- and post-update, it is quite a testament for a developer that almost burned to the ground with a disastrous launch of the original game back in 2020; and only for it to be significantly updated and improved through extensive patches and the Phantom Liberty expansion \u2013 turning it into a master piece today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_wioo3_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/4sXRNUYsdbA\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/4sXRNUYsdbA\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/4sXRNUYsdbA\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Essentially, the free update contains three graphics modes for players to choose from. <b>Performance Mode<\/b> delivers the highest possible frame rate for those who prioritise fast, fluid gameplay, while <b>Ray Tracing Pro <\/b>delivers the full range of available ray tracing enhancements. Striking a middle ground between the two other modes, <b>Ray Tracing<\/b> offers a balance between visuals and performance. The full list of features can be found in the recently published\u00a0patch notes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"_figure_wioo3_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Pro\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/8cec9358ad2f04da88c95e4e2952b84e135b247479ef942774c21414bb620247?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/8cec9358ad2f04da88c95e4e2952b84e135b247479ef942774c21414bb620247?w=530&amp;q=85 530w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/8cec9358ad2f04da88c95e4e2952b84e135b247479ef942774c21414bb620247?w=660&amp;q=85 660w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/8cec9358ad2f04da88c95e4e2952b84e135b247479ef942774c21414bb620247?w=1320&amp;q=85 1320w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/8cec9358ad2f04da88c95e4e2952b84e135b247479ef942774c21414bb620247?w=1980&amp;q=85 1980w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/8cec9358ad2f04da88c95e4e2952b84e135b247479ef942774c21414bb620247?w=660&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777;contain-intrinsic-size:2048px 1152px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_wioo3_158\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_wioo3_165\">Image: CD Projekt Red<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">But of course, if you really want to enjoy Cyberpunk 2077 in all its glorious visuals, PC is the way to go.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/entertainment\/gaming\/cd-projekt-red-cyberpunk-2077-free-playstation-5-pro-update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good news, PlayStation 5 Pro owners.
