The new CD Projekt game patch promises to improve stability, performance, and resolution. This is what the first big update of 2021 looks like.
CD Projekt RED published last Saturday the expected update of Cyberpunk 2077 scheduled for this month of January, Patch 1.10; the first of the two foreseen by the Polish firm and with which they hope to make the PS4 and Xbox One versions reach the minimum quality standards desired by both themselves and their buyers. Apart from the patch notes, from the channel of El Analista de Bits we already have the relevant comparisons with the patch applied.
This time the content of Cyberpunk 2077 (version 1.10) is divided into ecosystems: on the one hand, a video dedicated to putting the PS4, PS4 Pro and PS5 versions face to face (via backward compatibility); on the other, the four consoles of the Xbox family: Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, in the latter two due to backward compatibility.
Improvements on PS4 and PS5; although there are still problems
As he explains, with respect to version 1.06, which was the last weight, on PlayStation consoles version 1.10 has increased the resolution, but within dynamic resolution parameters. One aspect of quality of life to highlight is the increase in the size of the subtitles, although they have a bug: they can remain permanently on the screen during gameplay. Yes there are severe pop-in improvements, although the framerate is more unstable. Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.10 does not increase pedestrian density, which is still well below Xbox; while the shadows have improved, as have the collisions between vehicles.
On Xbox consoles the changes are similar. The Bit Analyst reports an increase in the overall resolution average, although, again, with dynamic resolution. Pop-in drops considerably on Xbox One X and Xbox Series X | S… while on standard Xbox One there are new difficulties with more pop-in on the screen. Performance, he explains, is more unstable “on all platforms.” Shadows remain stable, although on Xbox One the LOD is lower on NPCs. Also, there is a small improvement in gunplay: “You can see that now the headshots are simpler,” he says.
Cyberpunk 2077 will receive Patch 1.2 “in the next few weeks,” at a date to be determined. You can check the game’s roadmap for 2021 (DLC, next gen versions, patches…) here.
