Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.5 is finally here. After months of waiting, Night City runners are now able to download the patch that refurbishes the game to a degree, with many quality-of-life updates, free DLC and gameplay changes being added. Weighing in at approximately 50GB, it’s a beefy patch, so you’ll want to make sure your console’s SSD has room to spare. Patch 1.5 is available to download right now, with Xbox Series X /S players automatically receiving the updated next-gen version via Smart Delivery. PS5 players, meanwhile, will have to redownload the PS5 version of Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store. In case you missed the Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.5 livestream, the full patch notes can be read on the game’s official website. Alternatively, read on to find out all the biggest and best changes now available in Cyberpunk 2077’s patch 1.5 update. Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.5 finally brings the game’s next-gen version to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. The update boasts new Performance and Ray Tracing modes. Performance mode supports 60fps at 4K, however developer CD Projekt Red admits that small, infrequent frame drops should be expected, perhaps unavoidable for a game as large as Cyberpunk 2077. The Ray Tracing mode is slightly more disappointing. It drops the game to 30fps, and only supports local shadows as opposed to reflection-based ray-tracing. The trade-off there just isn’t worth it in our opinion, but it’s there to try out if you’re looking for a console experience slightly closer to the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077, providing you don’t mind a hampered frame rate, of course. Additionally, PS5 players are getting haptic feedback functionality via the DualSense wireless controller, and Spatial Audio support via headphones which the Xbox Series X/S versions already received. Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.5 brings gameplay improvements in some key areas. First up is a complete overhaul of the perk system. In some cases, entire perk trees have been retooled.
