    Night City Just Got a Massive Pro Upgrade: Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Pro Update is Live!

    Ready to go Pro, chooms? Night City has never looked—or performed—quite like this. CD Projekt Red has officially dropped a surprise free update for Cyberpunk 2077, specifically optimised for the PlayStation 5 Pro.

    Despite previous hints that the studio had moved on to the next Witcher project, they’ve returned to the dark future to squeeze every ounce of power out of Sony’s new mid-gen beast. Whether you’re a chrome-obsessed mercenary or a casual tourist in Watson, this update is the definitive console way to experience the neon-soaked streets.


    The Tech: PSSR and BVH8

    The headline of this update is the integration of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). This AI-powered upscaling technology allows the game to render at a lower internal resolution while outputting a sharp, high-fidelity 4K image, maintaining those elusive high frame rates.

    Furthermore, the developers have implemented BVH8 (8-way Bounding Volume Hierarchy) support. In English? It makes ray-traced lighting, shadows, and reflections significantly more efficient, bringing the console version closer than ever to the “Psycho” settings found on high-end PCs.


    Three New Graphics Modes

    Gone are the days of choosing between “blurry 60 FPS” or “stuttery 30 FPS.” PS5 Pro owners now have three distinct ways to play:

    ModeTarget PerformanceFeatures
    Performance60 – 90 FPSPrioritizes fluid movement. Targets 90 FPS on VRR-enabled displays.
    Ray Tracing60 FPSThe “Sweet Spot.” Features RT reflections and shadows at a stable 60 FPS.
    Ray Tracing Pro30 – 40 FPSThe “Ultra” experience. Includes RT skylight, emissive lighting, and ambient occlusion.

    Tech Tip: If you have a 120Hz display with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), the Ray Tracing Pro mode will target 40 FPS, which feels significantly smoother than the standard 30 FPS while keeping all the eye candy turned up to eleven.


    Better Late Than Never

    It’s a bit of a “miracle” update, considering CDPR initially stated they had no plans for a Pro patch back in late 2024. However, with the game now a staple of the PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium catalogue, this update ensures that the millions of players still jumping into Night City have the best possible hardware to back them up.

    The update is free for all existing owners of the game on PS5. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to start a new playthrough or finally dive into the Phantom Liberty expansion, the time is now.

    Are you planning to dive back into Night City to test out these new modes, or are you waiting for the sequel? Let us know in the comments!

  • Reigns: The Witcher coming to PC and Mobile next month

    Reigns: The Witcher coming to PC and Mobile next month

    In a surprise move that merges dark-fantasy grit with casual mobile gameplay, CD Projekt Red and Nerial (the creators of Reigns) have announced Reigns: The Witcher.

    Set to launch on February 25, 2026, this spin-off offers a stylistic, tongue-in-cheek detour from the heavy-hitting RPGs the franchise is known for. Here is what you need to know about Geralt’s latest “swipe-right” adventure.


    1. Dandelion Pulls the Strings

    Unlike the main series, where Geralt’s choices are “yours,” this game is framed through the unreliable narration of the bard Dandelion. He is recounting the White Wolf’s legendary exploits to a tavern audience—and he’s not afraid to embellish.

    Because the game is essentially a performance, the tone is lighter and more comedic. Your goal isn’t just to survive; it’s to help Dandelion tell a story so grand that it achieves “narrative immortality.”

    2. Gameplay: Choice by Swipe

    The core mechanic follows the classic Reigns formula. You are presented with narrative cards featuring allies, monsters, and moral dilemmas.

    • Swipe Left or Right: Every decision shifts the balance of four key pillars: Humans, Non-humans, Sorcerers, and Geralt’s own Witcher Path (his monster-hunting focus).
    • Balance is Life: If any meter becomes too full or completely empty, Geralt meets a “deliciously creative” end—anything from being eaten by a dragon to drowning in a vat of syrup.
    • Roguelite Progression: When Geralt “dies,” Dandelion simply starts a new ballad. Each run unlocks new “Inspirations,” cards, and songbooks that expand the story for your next attempt.

    3. Rhythm-Based Combat

    While Reigns is usually purely text-based, this version introduces a combat minigame. Described by the developers as a “Witcher fan-fiction simulator,” these sequences require you to swipe in rhythm to mimic Geralt’s “sword dance,” dodging and parrying attacks from ghouls and rotfiends.

    4. Familiar Faces

    Expect a star-studded cast of characters to pop up in Dandelion’s tall tales:

    • Yennefer and Triss: Usually offering high-stakes magical bargains.
    • Vesemir: Providing grizzled wisdom (or judging your choices).
    • Roach: Yes, the horse is there—and yes, things still get weird.

    Availability & Specs

    • Release Date: February 25, 2026
    • Platforms: PC (Steam), iOS, and Android
    • Vibe: A perfect “snackable” game for fans waiting for The Witcher 4.
