Cyberpunk 2077 Won’t Be Receiving a PS5 Pro Patch—At Least Not Yet
In a recent post on X, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that there are currently no plans to release a PS5 Pro patch for Cyberpunk 2077. The announcement has left many fans disappointed, especially since the game has undergone significant improvements since its rocky launch. Once riddled with bugs and performance issues, Cyberpunk 2077 has evolved into a polished, visually stunning RPG that has won back much of its audience.
What Does This Mean for Cyberpunk 2077 Players?
With the PS5 Pro rolling out alongside a slew of patch-enhanced titles, including Silent Hill 2, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Alan Wake 2, many hoped Cyberpunk 2077 would join the lineup. The absence of a PS5 Pro patch means fans won’t see frame rate boosts or graphical enhancements specifically optimized for Sony's newest hardware—at least not for now.
CD Projekt Red’s brief response to a fan inquiry on X clarified their position:
"We currently have no plans for the PS5 Pro patch."
This simple statement has sparked speculation. Is the studio waiting to gauge player reception to PS5 Pro-enhanced titles, or have they truly moved on from Cyberpunk 2077 updates?
A Missed Opportunity or Strategic Pause?
While many AAA titles are taking advantage of the PS5 Pro’s hardware capabilities, reports from Digital Foundry indicate that not all patches deliver on their promise of improved visuals and performance. Perhaps CD Projekt Red is observing the landscape before making a move—or it could be that the studio is fully focused on other projects, such as the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 sequel or their Witcher universe expansions.
The lack of a PS5 Pro patch doesn’t diminish the strides the game has made since launch, but it leaves some wondering if the studio is missing an opportunity to maintain its momentum among a broader audience.
What’s Next for Cyberpunk 2077?
While this announcement may be disappointing, it’s worth remembering that CD Projekt Red has often surprised fans with unexpected updates and features. Whether the studio revisits a PS5 Pro patch in the future remains uncertain.
