Cyberpunk 2077 Next Gen/1.5 update patch is officially available, and PS5 and XSX | The S host has ray tracing, as well as other graphical improvements. The video released today by the YouTube channel ElAnalistaDeBits compares the updated PS5 version with the PS4 Pro and PS4.
According to the author of the video, the game size of the PS5 version of Cyberpunk 2077 has been reduced by half after the update, and the loading time has been significantly improved. The official note shows that the game can run dynamically in 4K on the PS5, but the video author said that the test was 1440p throughout the test. Game pop-up issues have improved significantly on the PS5, but occasionally when driving a vehicle, etc.
The most obvious improvements to the update are shadows and lighting effects, while ray tracing adds contact shadows to the game screen and enhances other shadow effects, but it does not bring light tracking reflections and light-chasing global illumination. Textures are enhanced in some parts of the game, and there will be more NPCs on the same screen.
In performance mode and ray tracing mode, the frame rate is very smooth, with only some of the frames dropped when loading. However, there are still some performance problems with the current PS4 version.
