The update process for the next-gen version of Cyberpunk 2077 will be excruciating for players on PlayStation.
Update 1.5 for Cyberpunk 2077 has been available since last night. This includes a lot of great improvements, but also the next-gen upgrade that many players have been waiting for.
For Xbox gamers, the process of updating is a routine without lifting a finger thanks to the Smart Delivery feature. Because the feature recognizes which console you want to play a game on, which automatically downloads the best possible version.
So if you want Update 1.5 for Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, let the automatic update process do its work, which also includes saves directly.
On the PlayStation, however, it looks very different and much more complicated. Because players on PlayStation 5 have so far played Cyberpunk 2077 as a backward compatible game. If you want to play the next-gen version with update 1.5 there, you can’t just run an update over it like you can on Xbox Series X|S. No, on PlayStation 5 the next-gen version is a separate game. Therefore, it must also be downloaded from scratch.
It can also get complicated with saves. The Xbox Series X|S console will automatically detect all saves and carry them with you to the latest version of the game. This also applies when switching from last-gen to next-gen.
If PlayStation players want to transfer their save from PlayStation 4 to Playstation 5, they have to do this manually by first uploading it to PS4 and then downloading it to PS5. After all, this is not necessary if the PS4 version of Cyberpunk 2077 has previously been played on the PS5 via compatibility.
At first glance, Smart Delivery may only seem like a small feature. But the fact that the best possible version for your console is always recognized and that the saves are automatically adopted is a nice thing that Xbox players don’t have to lift a finger for.
