Cyberpunk 2077 Gets Free PS5 Pro Upgrade With PSSR2 and New Ray Tracing Modes

The free patch spotlights Sony’s PSSR2 AI upscaling to show what PS5 Pro can add to Night City.

Overview

  • Cyberpunk 2077’s PS5 Pro update went live Wednesday as patch 2.310.100 and is a free download for existing owners.
  • The upgrade adds PSSR2, an AI upscaler that renders at a lower resolution then reconstructs the image, which Digital Foundry says delivers cleaner edges and sharper detail.
  • CD Projekt Red implemented BVH8 and other ray-tracing optimizations that improve lighting, shadows, and reflections, though reflections are narrower than on top-end PCs and occasional CPU-driven dips can occur.
  • Three graphics modes are offered on PS5 Pro: Ray Tracing Pro targets 30fps or 40fps on 120Hz VRR screens, Ray Tracing targets 60fps, and Performance targets 60fps with a 90fps ceiling on VRR displays.
  • PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members can play the enhanced version through the Game Catalog on PS5 Pro without buying the game.
