Night City. 2077. A dangerous megalopolis filled with cyber-enhanced mercenaries, cutthroat corporations, and tantalizing opportunities. It’s a city that’ll draw you in, promise you everything, but stab you in the back without warning. As V, an up-and-coming merc-for-hire, it’s time to explore the world of the dark future — now Optimized for Xbox Series X|S. The Cyberpunk 2077 Next-Gen Update is here. You ready, choom?
This latest update for the futuristic first-person, open-world RPG brings a host of graphical upgrades to the game on Xbox Series X|S, such as improved reflections — as well as Ray Tracing Mode on Xbox Series X. In this mode, the game prioritizes graphical fidelity with the inclusion of ray-traced shadows, giving Night City an even more immersive atmosphere.

General gameplay has also been improved; from UI and map enhancements to new relationship interactions, skill rebalances, tweaked AI and crowd reactions — as well as extra bits and pieces for you to discover along the way. The update also comes with free additional content, in the form of new weapons and gear, new apartments to rent, and more to help you along as you build your name as an awesome cyberware-toting mercenary.
Thanks to the power of the newest generation of Xbox consoles, you’ll be able to jump into all the action much faster thanks to greatly improved load times, and with Quick Resume, you can drop in and out and continue your adventure at your leisure.
