techradar.com:

The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S update for Cyberpunk 2077 has been released and is live now, according to CD Projekt Red, which announced the game’s next-gen launch during a livestream.

The sci-fi action RPG’s next-gen versions are available as both standalone releases and as free upgrades for those who already own the game on PS4 and Xbox One. A free update will also bring improvements to the PC version of the game.

The update will launch alongside a free, five-hour trial of the game on Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

The next-gen updates will introduce several quality-of-life improvements, graphical tweaks like ray traced local shadows, and a handful of gameplay changes, including combat rebalances, a reworked perk system, new UI for some elements of the game, more crowd and NPC behaviors, additional map details, and a rebalanced economy.

You’ll also now be able to change the appearance of protagonist V mid-game. Returning to your apartment, you’ll be able to tweak V’s appearance using the same character creator presented at the start of the game. New appearance options, including additional hairstyles and make-up, have also been added, alongside options to change the interior of your apartment and purchase additional properties located in different cities.
