Played this on PS5 when it released, put it down after about 6 hours of gameplay. Picked it back up when 1.5 went live and the game plays much better. There are still some interesting glitches but nothing game breaking so far and nothing the game doesn't autofix itself after a few seconds. I'm happy with it overall and I hope they keep adding content.

They did do something similar ion the past with the Witcher 2, they rereleased an 'enhanced edition' that fixed a lot of the issues the game had before and made it a free download for anyone that already owned the game.

Masterpiece is a stretch buddy

[@vullord666]

The thing is, no man's sky had an open template. I mean they literally had an entire universe to work with. Its possible with Cyberpunk but it's less of a no man's sky situation. Plus CDPR has other commitments. We're still waiting for a Witcher 3 next gen and they just announced they're developing the next Witcher game. And people are still asking for remastered versions of the earlier Witcher games (or a port entirely for Witcher 1).

[@gamersmudngrubshow6119]

Playing on PC. This patch was a huge improvement. I played 2 -3 hours after updating last night and I was shocked at how many things they added; like the apartments, secrets, combat and AI tweaks, vehicle handling, performance optimizations, you name it.

Just bought this the other day. Frames are smooth, everything is ultra. Was surprised due to the stories I heard. Glad I waited to jump in. Good game so far.

[@mattw3606]

I've jumped back into it since the next gen upgrade and wow, what an improvement. The first time I played through it it was janky as all he'll and I encountered several severe glitches that frustrated me out of playing it. So far, aside from the Caliburn now requiring a SC level of 40+ to spawn, the gameis running extreme,y well (so far). I'm playing it on the Series X on Ray Tracing mode and the game looks stunning. The game performs like it should have the first time with several quality of life improvements that have made returning to Nigh City fun and engaging. A few issues though; the audio crackles a lot and seems to depend on what's going in and will often smooth out during or between cutscenes. Guardrails tend to jump out in front of me out in the badlands (reference the mission where V and Panam light up a transport with an EMP). I'll be booting along at full spin following the van to the gas station and a guardrail suddenly catapults me a few hundred feet to--usually--die. It's amusing, but not so much when you lose progress because of it. All in all, I love it now. I don't mind some jank, but it was unplayable for me before and if that was the only improvement, I would still highly recommend playing it.

Are you playing the Next-Gen version? I'll have to play some more myself to see if it crashes at all. I remember finishing the game last year with the backwards compatibility version of the game and it would crash every 1 to 2 hours which was horrible. I was hoping this patch would fix all of that.

I decided to hold off a second playthrough until now, and after spending a number of hours in the game, I'm seeing the game as it should have been at launch, so going back has been an awesome experience so far.

Especially since the "multiplayer spin-off" was cancelled, I think that leaves a possibility for this game to gain some strong traction again and just maybe, it can become the game we were all so hyped for back before release.

Not quite ready - seems close though. Waiting for more narrative focused content to hopefully make choices more impactful. Glad to see CDPR hasn't given up on the game. I've been following closely since release and somehow I've avoided almost all spoilers. 6-12 months and I think I'll finally be able to experience Cyberpunk the way I imagined after the gameplay reveal in 2018.

I hope they dont give up on this as a series, been waiting for a futuristic city with dark tone, cyber style, mature, full rpg game with lots to try out etc.

[@2midgetsinatrenchcoat454]

In my opinion the game has finally reached the staggering heights of "the minimum that would have been acceptable on launch." The fact that it took them 14 months to get here is just kind of proof to me that the launch version was more of a early to mid beta. I played the PS4 version on a PS4 pro the day it came out and beat the game before the next update even dropped, and I got to say at least on PS4 pro it wasn't completely broken or anything it just didn't feel like a finished product. Now the game at least feels finished, so hopefully they will keep dropping improvement updates to really get it to a point of polish.

The improvements and changes are great. I will say RT mode does not do anything for me other than lower my FPS (playing on a SX) The biggest thing I was hoping for is draw distance when it comes to cars (the cars in the distance driving towards you then disappearing into the either). I understand if you are running by or driving it makes it look like there is heavy car density without using a lot of resources but it would be better without it. (especially noticeable while driving out to the badlands where you would think they wouldn't want to make it look like there is a bunch of people because there isn't)

[@KRG30001]

I’d also recommend performance mode over raytracing. Not enough of a graphics boost for the huge drop in framerate (less than 30fps in reality)

[@Xiatter]

On my Series X and HDR 4K TV, it's an incredible difference. Ray-tracing mode is worth it for the look of the city itself, the detail on characters, and that extra kick it needs to look actually next-gen. Ray-tracing mode off looks like a decent Xbox One or PS4 game. Definitely not next-gen. Apart from draw distance and framerate, which is overrated imo outside of competitive PVP games.

Having played through the game twice within the first year or it's launch (and overall really liking my experience with it) I can honestly say this patch is a huge improvement. I didn't jump in for the smaller updates/fixes because I wanted to wait for the full net gen update to play again and I'm glad I did. All of the basic activities feel so much smoother and weightier, and the frame rate stabilization is so damn nice.
