It's free for owners of the game playing on Sony 's most powerful console
and, according to global art director Kuba Knapik, is intended to "make the most of the PS5 Pros cutting-edge technology." As detailed in the official PlayStation Blog post , major enhancements such as new lighting technology that introduces upgraded ray-traced lighting, shadows, and reflections bring the game's world to life like never before.

CD Projekt once again declares Cyberpunk 2077 will not be getting any more playable content as it announces new PlayStation patch featuring Sony's updated PSSR tech 'For transparency: this update will not be introducing any new in-game content' Sony's updated PSSR upscaling tech is finally available for even more PS5 Pro games, including Crimson Desert, Silent Hill f, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and more

Three graphics presets allow PS5 Pro players to fine-tune their experience, too. There's the flagship Ray Tracing Pro mode, which cranks up all of the visuals while targeting a 30fps frame rate. This increases to 40fps for those with a compatible variable refresh rate (VRR) display.

It looks simply incredible in action, with a level of detail and fidelity
that truly feels "next-gen" and comparable to a high-end gaming PC. With the latest rumors that PlayStation 6 could release in 2028 or 2029 , this level
of graphical excellence may very well give us our first taste of what Sony's next major console will offer on day one.

For those craving a much smoother frame rate, Performance mode will now hit
up to 90fps on compatible VRR displays at the expense of some of that lovely lighting. The final option, Ray Tracing mode, is intended to be more of a middle ground with a 60fps target framerate and a handful of the new ray-tracing features enabled.

Cyberpunk 2077 is also currently available as part of the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers' Games Catalog, letting you pick it up at no extra cost if you're a subscriber with a PS5 Pro that wants to dive into this new update right now.
