Cyberpunk 2077 Update 1.05 Doubles Performance On Xbox One, Improves Visuals On All Consoles

CD Projekt Red released a new patch for Cyberpunk 2077 that appears to have further improved not just the performance but the visuals as well.

[Knightofelemia]

Wonder if Sony will put the game back up on the PSN store after this update.

[RaidenBlack]

Once it's solid 30fps all around on base PS4 and minimal bugs.

[Eonjay]

For Sony it's more about the game being in a condition where they aren't bombarded with refund requests.

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

@CannOfPoo
"You are all seriously pathetic."

Jeez. Calm down dude. There's no need for the melodrama. The game remains in a very poor state which is why large updates are still needed in January and February. It's still extremely buggy (even more so than games like Fallout 76 and AC Unity), saves are getting corrupted once they go over 8MB, the game constantly crashes, etc.

Also, the framerate in this video is still very bad. It's nearing 20fps quite regularly if you actually look at the graph, e.g. at 3:13. It's good to see that they're starting to make progress but there's A LOT of work to do.

[RaidenBlack]

@CannOfPoo
Mainly governs around the fact how many people have asked for refunds.
CP2077 was hyped beyond oblivion.
Gamers, casual or hardcore, have been anticipating this game.
The cumulative hype surrounding the game scales much higher than FO:76 + AC:Unity combined and then some.

[uth11]

Witcher 3 couldn't hit 30fps at launch, but it was never taken down

[SullysCigar]

^ To all the "this wasn't taken down, that wasn't taken down" people, the makers of those games at the time didn't tell everyone to call Sony to process a refund for their mistakes. Even having removed from PS Store, can you imagine how many refunds Sony's support staff still have had to process thanks to that stupid CDPR exec?

Maybe by the time that mess has been sorted out, the game will be better too and it can be put back on the store without a further deluge of complaints, who knows?

I'd imagine the shareholders of CDPR are baying that guys head for this lapse of judgement.

[zahdab]

they never required a stable 30fps for all games .. many of the AAA games have dips

[mikeslemonade]

So all you refunders will be buying it again haha

[RememberThe357]

Raiden makes a baseless comment about a standard Sony has never set and canofshit shows up to tell everyone how pathetic they are? WTF is going on around here? What are you guys even arguing about?

[RaidenBlack]

@RememberThe357
I just made an assumption regarding the 'acceptance-criteria' for CP2077 to be viable again for it to be made available on PSN store.
CanofPoop is upset as to why CP2077 was removed and FO76 wasn't.

[boing1]

I still get hard crashes on PS5 sometimes. Not so much as before the patch but I think it's too soon yet. Needs to be more stable. If they'd bring it back and it'd still crash, people would go nuts.

[Pixelift]

Same here. Otherwise, it runs/looks/etc. super nice on the PS5. I just save often. I've been finding the crashes happen most when traveling long distances.

[RgR]

I get hard crashes on borderlands 3, destroy all humans, doom eternal and a bunch of other games I've recently played on the base ps4.

They don't go away.

[boing1]

@Pixelift

I concur. Runs very nice on my PS5. SSD eliminated every issue with streaming, that I've seen on my son's PS4.
60 fps helps too.

[Profchaos]

U get random intermittent issues have only had 2 crashes in 20 hours on PS5 but if I change options I can't exit the menu on the latest patch so I turn off chromatic aberration and motion blur but can't apply it really weird not hurting my overall gameplay still

[Rocosaurus]

In that case It's not about the quality of the game, bur rather about cdpr pissing off sony with their iniatial refund statement.

[galmi]

its always been about the refund, has nothing to do with quality

[--Onilink--]

Life of Black Tiger..

Thats all you need to know to see if quality of a game is at all considered by Sony before allowing a game on the store.

It was always about the refunds and the fact that both MS and Sony caught some of the hits for allowing the game to be certified without any testing

[SullysCigar]

Definitely, but clearly the state of the game has been the driver of the refund requests. Better to remove the problem, process the workload and replace the product once it's in a state that won't drive further mass-refund claims.

[Mulando]

It was never pulled out because of quality. So no reason to put it back. It was pulled out because CDPR encouraged owners to request a refund if they don't like the experience.

[galmi]

which consumers should have every right to

[nickanasty206]

I don't think Sony will put this back up for some time due to CDPR trying to dictate refunds without talking with Sony. This is Sony's middle finger in the air to CDPR after trying to dictate refunds without any communication or buy-in by Sony. Sucks for any of those who purchased a digital only version of PS5 - the game does run just fine on it compared to last gen consoles, which are the main concern.

[Profchaos]

It will have to go through the certification process again. It won't be back before February.

Looks like it's certainly eligible.

[Ashunderfire86]

Nope 👎 still a buggy mess with PS4 Version along with PS5 is still crashing every hour, which is a frustrating! I say give it 6 months and go back into the game. They going to have to rebrand this game with better A.I. Cause the world building is a serious problem and the physics is really bad!

[XxSPIDEYxX]

Game still crashes on 1.05 on PS4, PS4 Pro and PS5.

[RangerWalk267]

It hasn't crashed on my at all. There are some funny glitches, but nothing game breaking. Looks and plays decent enough that I haven't stopped playing it because of any issues. I'm playing it on a XBOX One X

[Gaming4Life1981]

Same here im loving the game and im on one x but i will say cdpr really screwed up with the release of this game. One thing is that they always fix their games and never just leave them in a bad state.

The game should have been pushed back but after so many delays they prolly figured just put it out and patch later which is wrong as they clearly found out.

[CYALTR]

Been good for me on the One X as well, at least so far. I'm about 10 hours into the campaign and have crashed once, but it brought me back right to where it crashed. I've also had subtitles stick on the screen for 15-20 minutes at a time, and I have subtitles turned off!! Annoying stuff, but nothing horrible yet. I haven't gotten into a lot of "busy" scenes with a lot of combat yet, so that may be a problem. We'll see. I play so slow that the game will be fully patched with DLC by the time I finish!

[somethingcool87]

yeah, crashed 3 times in 2 hours yesterday on the pro. And Now I have the visual glitch, which I didn't come across prior. This update did more damage than fixing for me.

[RangerWalk267]

I didn't realize there was an update. When did that happen?

[RememberThe357]

The update is literally the subject of the story you're commenting on...

[anast]

I've had one crash on patch 1.04 with about 25hrs of gameplay and on base PS4. Zero crashes on patch 1.05, but I have only 4 hrs. of gameplay on this patch.

[SmokinAces]

Really so you're playing the game on all three of those console, um ok.

[jznrpg]

I have all three of those consoles. I’m waiting to play 2077 as it needs time imo but if I wanted to I could try the game out on all three of those consoles so I don’t see why anyone else can’t??? Maybe he is trying to find what plays the game the best for him

[Shiken]

Still got a ways to go, but this is a giant leap in the right direction. Especially on last gen consoles, which needed it the most.

[Doomeduk]

What I seem to notice when playing on Ps pro is it runs and looks fine( but not perfect) for around an hour or so then it seems to slowly bleed performance, framerates start to drop and textures load in slower, I can keep playing until it soon crashes but i find it best just to restart the game when I notice the drops in framerate starting

[1nsomniac]

That sounds like a memory leak. Believe the same issue was had with Fallout.

[Father__Merrin]

Patch 1.05 doesn't work as my ps4 has just blew up..

/s

[Rocosaurus]

Your ps4 blew up (exploded?) When playing cyberpunk?

[Father__Merrin]

Yes
https://youtu.be/c_dvCOgz-B...

[Nd1vhu]

Ohi get it. Because it's positive Xbox One news it has to mean they are taking a swipe at PS4 right?

[RememberThe357]

Huh? Isn't this positive for both consoles?

[Rocosaurus]

Runs fine on my series x

[DJStotty]

Oh look, the game is getting fixed, and quite quickly as well.

All those that got refunds will end up buying the game again in a few short weeks lol.

[Vanfernal]

Oh look... They could've delayed the game a couple of weeks and spared themselves such a disastrous launch...

[DJStotty]

They could but they didn't.

Just glad they are fixing the game quickly.

[SullysCigar]

I might pick it up once it launches for PS5 and is all fixed up with a cheaper purchase price too. Winner.

[DJStotty]

@Sully

The only winners are CDPR, they are still getting your money lol.

If you think there is a price drop once this game is fixed, i emplore you to think again. The price is not dropping with the game being broken, so why would they drop it once it is fixed?

[OpenGL]

I have encountered multiple bugs in patch 1.05 on Xbox Series X so it's not fixed yet.

[ashcroft]

By the time this is fully patched + Next gen patch, the game will be on sale, so those who are asking for refunds are not losing in any way.

[chrisoadamson]

Well done CDPR. Now imagine if you had delayed the game for 2 weeks and released it in this state . Would be praise all round not hate . Lesson learned !

[darksky]

All they probably did is turn down some of the settings like people do on pc. They obviously thought console players won't complain much if it drops to 20fps otherwise they could have adjusted settings before launch.

[chrisoadamson]

Did you watch the video? The visuals have been improved .

[seanpitt23]

I have kept the PS4 version not refunding I know the game has potential I am just waiting on the patches to make this game what is should of been on release day

[RememberThe357]

But why keep the worst version of the game when you could wait till it's fixed and out on next gen hardware, with like crowds, and full HD, and no crashes?

[seanpitt23]

I have the ps5 so I know the PS4 version will have a free upgrade next year on ps5

[RememberThe357]

Oh nice, I didn't realize it came with the update. Worth it then I guess. But I bet by the time the PS5 version is out you'll be able to find it a bit cheaper than $60.

[waverider]

its really bad optimization that a game running at such low rez is having problems to run at 30 frames....

[seanpitt23]

Yeah these consoles are not that underpowered the PS4 pro can do way better than what we got... CDPR just didn’t bother to optimise the console versions they just focused on pc and then scaled down for other systems without much optimisation.. now they are working around the clock doing what they should of done and you will see better results

[Lmcreach]

I noticed zero difference on my PS five

[hollabox]

On PC it reduced visuals, reflections don't have the same pop as patch 1.04. Also objects draw in closer to the camera which is irritating. I've also noticed textures popping in slow when you turn around quick you can see textures resolving. This game is installed on Samsung 970 NMVE drive with AMD Ryzen 2 3800X as my CPU. It probably perform a tad better as my FPS stays between 40-52 FPS with high settings, RT Reflections on only, resolution set to 3072 X 1728P and DLSS set balanced. I can just about hit 60 FPS at 1620P but the image starts to look too soft on my 65 inch OLED. With the FPS counter off 40-50ish FPS doesn't bother me as long as the screen doesn't tear with vsync.

[Babadook7]

You can notice a drop from 1728p to 1620p? I would much sooner take a 20% increase in FPS personally.

[hollabox]

Yep, 1620P is that resolution where TAA starts to make games look blurry.

[GamesAsAService]

Patience my friends. This trajectory is promising. Currently playing God of War (2018) for the first time on PS5, it is fantastic. I got many other PS exclusives that I have yet to play, once a few months have passed I will see what cyberpunk is looking like. It is definitely on my list.

[Zhipp]

Yeah, I was pretty bummed by the state the game launched in, but there are still plenty of games, past and present, to enjoy. I'm taking this time to finally play through the Master Chief collection. I'm amazed at how well Bungie's Halo games still hold up.

[RebDomine2]

On xbox doesn't feel anything changed !

[giovonni]

I have yet to play it due to it being a gift.... (that I wrapped myself by the way) due to keeping it “fair” to my kids, I’ll open it on Christmas morning. So I ask, was it really as bad as they say? I love gotten mixed reviews of it playing fine or being broken.

[anast]

I enjoyed the story and I am on my second playthrough. I like the game, but it has tons of bugs and rendering issues. These issues are getting better, but it won't be until sometime in Feb. when both of the major patches are released.

[franwex]

Tell you what. Why don’t you play it without patching it? See for yourself just for kicks.

Then patch later.

[giovonni]

I wonder if that’s even possible. I’ll keep you posted in the next four days

[aceloth]

2 mins in and seems like a useless video, gonna wait for digital foundry to do a proper analysis...

[2cents]

I have to agree with many here. It is unacceptable how CDPR have handled this release. If they are not held accountable for this debacle it will be business as usual.

Even though I'm playing and loving it on series x and in just over 40 hours of gaming it has only crashed once (playing in quality mode) I think it is disgusting that they would release a game in such a state on last gen consoles. So few console owners are able to enjoy this, not fair. Their money spent on the game is worth just as much as pc owners. Yet the product is so vastly different. Had they shown it prior to release and said, "it's a mess, but will have constant improvements made" even that would have been less of a kick in the teeth than the straight up lies we got.

Such a shame, because the game is incredible, the artists and developers have done a fantastic job, but they just weren't given enough time. This is unfair on the gamers and the studio developers equally. CDP executives have a lot to answer for.

[esherwood]

Guess this is the downside to hype, the nerds go into a rage when it doesn’t live up to there expectations

[Aussiesummer]

Regardless of bugs and crashes the core game is a shallow pale imitation of what was promised again and again.

[rlow1]

Looks alot better on the Xbox family with the new update...... As well as the PlayStation family.

[CobraKai]

That’s great news. I’m just waiting for CDPR to finish this unfinished game before I buy it.

[Elda]

Bumping the resolution on the PS5 from 1188p to now 1224p is not much at all.

[InUrFoxHole]

Lmao 🤣 I cranked it up immediately npc's spawning at the same point. Npc floating. Im good

[Harryvok]

It's not even the bugs that's put me off, they were always going to get fixed. It's all the broken promises. GTA San Andreas has more impressive police, traffic and pedestrian AI than this game. There's no world interaction, no activities like gambling, sport, barbers etc to make the world feel real. It's just such a let down over what THEY promised.

[Ash01Live]

I got my Xbox version refund yesterday, besides being on series x, I don't think CDPR deserves my money until the game is complete and functional on all platforms. If that state is reached I'll have no problem buying the game again, and I really look forward playing it the way it was intended

[MADGameR]

It's too late. The damage has already been done.
