Best graphics and video settings in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 for PS5

The PS5 comes with a performance and a ray tracing mode for Cyberpunk 2077 2.0. The former runs the game at a dynamic 4K 60 FPS while ray tracing limits the game to a dynamic 4K 30 FPS while using better graphics.

We recommend sticking to the Performance preset. Visual difference with ray tracing turned on isn't as noticeable, and 30 FPS can feel a bit janky in a first-person shooter title.

Graphics

• Motion blur: On

Video

Cyberpunk 2077 is a fantastic entry to the PS5 games lineup. With the 2.0 update, the game got even better. You can expect it to run very smoothly on the console with these above settings applied.
