Cyberpunk 2077 next-generation version / 1.5 update patch is officially launched, PS5 and XSX|S consoles have ray tracing, and other graphics improvements. A video released today by the YouTube channel ElAnalistaDeBits compares the updated PS5 version with the PS4 Pro and PS4.
The author of the video said that after the update, the game size of the PS5 version of “Cyberpunk 2077” has been reduced by half, and the loading time has been significantly improved. The official description shows that this game can run in dynamic 4K on PS5, but the author of the video said that the whole test is 1440p. The game pop-up problem has improved significantly on PS5, but it still occasionally occurs when driving a vehicle, etc.
The most obvious improvements after the update are in shadows and lighting effects. Ray tracing adds contact shadows to the game screen and enhances other shadow effects, but it does not bring ray tracing reflections and ray tracing global illumination. The textures in some parts of the game have been enhanced, 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 frame drops during cutscenes or loading. However, there are still some performance issues with the PS4 version.
