Best graphics and video settings in Cyberpunk 2077 for PS5

The PS5 comes with a performance and a ray tracing mode for Cyberpunk 2077. 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.

• Lens flare: On
• Motion blur: On
