What you need to know

  • Cyberpunk 2077 first launched in December 2020, garnering praise but also backlash due to the state of the game.
  • Since then, CD Projekt Red has released multiple patches, as well as a planned current-generation upgrade for the game.
  • Patch 1.5 for Cyberpunk 2077 adds new guns, apartments, the ability to customize V mid-way through the game and more.
  • The Xbox Series X|S and PS5 upgrades, alongside patch 1.5, are now available for Cyberpunk 2077.

The latest patch for Cyberpunk 2077 is here, alongside the current-generation upgrade for modern consoles. In a Twitch stream on Tuesday, CD Projekt Red detailed some of the improvements and fixes that are coming to the game over a year after launch.

Patch 1.5 for Cyberpunk 2077 adds in some smaller DLC packs like new apartments, the ability to customize V's appearance throughout the game, some new guns, improved crowd reactions, a reworked skill tree and more. This patch is accompanying the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PS5 upgrades for the game, which add new visual features, faster loading times and more.

You can take a look at some gameplay footage of the current-generation version below:

On Xbox Series X and PS5, there's two modes available, with the game supporting ray-traced shadows in one mode and targeting 60 FPS in the other. Both modes run at 4K, while the Xbox Series S gets a single mode at 1440p 30 FPS. The PS5 version of the game also benefits from the DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
