CD Projekt RED has announced its sci-fi RPG Cyberpunk 2077<\/a> will soon receive the promised<\/a> PS5 Pro update, enabling enhanced visuals for those who own the souped-up console.<\/p>\n

The update goes live tomorrow, 8th April 2026, and the PS Blog<\/a> has revealed a few details about what to expect.<\/p>\n

One major area the game utilises the Pro’s capabilities is with support for PSSR, which was recently overhauled to great effect. “The result is incredible, with every inch of Night City \u2014 every thermal katana, every gonk on the street, every supercharged sports car \u2014 coming to life,” writes global art director Kuba Knapik.<\/p>\n

The Pro update also introduces big improvements to lighting, with ray traced lights, shadows, and reflections implemented using something called BVH8 (8-way Bounding Volume Hierarchy).<\/p>\n

Also notable is that, with this update, Pro users will be able to choose from three graphics options that prioritise different things:<\/p>\n

Ray Tracing Pro: Enables all ray tracing effects, targets 30 frames-per-second (40fps on VRR-enabled displays)
\nRay Tracing: Enables select ray tracing enhancements, targets 60fps
\nPerformance: No ray tracing enabled, emphasises frame rate (up to 90fps on VRR-enabled displays)<\/p>\n
