The highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Pro update is finally here, and it’s a massive download weighing nearly 8 GB. While we already had an idea of what was coming, CD Projekt RED has released the official patch notes that players can check out below.
Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Pro update patch notes (April 8, 2026)
- Adds support for PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). PSSR is an AI-powered upscaling technology dedicated for PlayStation 5 Pro. The image is rendered at a lower resolution, then uses PSSR to upscale it, allowing you to maintain high performance.
- Includes optimized ray-traced object queries and improved ray-tracing cache to reduce shadow popping.
- Implements BVH8 (8-way Bounding Volume Hierarchy) support to enhance the performance and efficiency of ray-traced lighting, shadows, and reflections.
- Implements the VRS (Variable Rate Shading) algorithm for optimized shading.
- Introduces 3 Graphics Modes:
- Ray Tracing Mode enables ray-traced reflections on vehicle paint and transparent objects, with all shadows rendered using ray tracing, at a stable 60 FPS. This is the default setting and our recommended way to experience the game on PlayStation 5 Pro.
- Performance Mode ensures smooth gameplay, targeting 60 FPS on regular display, and up to 90 FPS on VRR-enabled displays.
- Ray Tracing Pro Mode adds ray-traced skylight, ray-traced emissive lighting and ray-traced ambient occlusion, running at 40 FPS on displays with high refresh rates (HFR). If your display does not support HFR, it targets 30 FPS instead.
