Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.5 is Available Now

gamerant.com:

CD Projekt Red has finally released the much-anticipated patch 1.5 for Cyberpunk 2077. The nearly 50 gig patch brings a host of game improvements, added quests, gameplay fixes, free DLC, game optimization, and next-gen improvements for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Since the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 in December 2020, CD Projekt Red has released over 10 patches to address the plethora of bugs that infested the ambitious open-world first-person action RPG. Fans might recall that the launch was so disastrous that Sony initially removed the PlayStation 4 version of the game from the PlayStation Store entirely. In fact, there were so many technical problems that refunds were offered and a group of investors actually sued CD Projekt Red.

CD Projekt Red Thinks Cyberpunk 2077 Will Be Considered 'A Very Good Game' Eventually

Despite all the critical and commercial fallout, Cyberpunk 2077 was still one of Steam's most played games in 2021. Patch 1.5 is such a massive update that it looks to address virtually every outstanding issue the game still might have lingering over its cybernetic head.

Highlights for next-gen console enthusiasts bring 4K resolution with dynamic scaling (at 60fps), ray tracing with local light shadows, and faster loading times. In addition, the PS5 patch will implement the use of adaptive triggers and haptic feedback features on the DualSense controller, even going so far as to use the built-in speaker for things like holocalls, text messages, and internal monologue inside V's head. Players can also now transfer saves from the PS4 to PS5.

CD Projekt Red added some important PC-specific changes. Players can now enable Variable Rate Shading (VRS), which should boost rendering performance and visual quality. It
