Cyberpunk 2077 was released on December 10 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia and today a new patch 1.04 is now made available for the title. On the old generation consoles, in the respective basic versions (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) the title, as we now know, has several rather serious problems (so much so as to cause a loss in the valuation of the company’s shares on the stock market).
The PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X versions are much better, while the absolute best experience, in the console field, is guaranteed by the versions started in backwards compatibility mode on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, Sony’s and Microsoft’s next-generation consoles. On the two consoles just mentioned and on the PC, the title is not, however, exempt from a fair number of graphics and technical problems, errors which CD Projekt RED is starting to remedy.
The patch that updates Cyberpunk 2077 to version 1.04, available for download on every platform right now, should reduce (among other things) the graphic phenomena of pop-in and improve the general stability of the title.
In addition, the patch will modify the flashing effect on the brains, in order to reduce the possibility of inducing epileptic symptoms in the most sensitive individuals. Corrections have also been made to the soundtrack, where it is now possible to disable copyrighted music to facilitate streaming of the title on Twitch and other similar platforms.
The patch 1.04 dedicated to Cyberpunk 2077 does not yet introduce, unfortunately, support for Ray Tracing technology on AMD GPUs. Users will therefore have to wait a little longer to take advantage of this splendid feature in the new AAA title by CD Projekt RED.
