CD Projekt Red is patching Cyberpunk 2077 one last time (again), with update 2.5 promising to bring the game’s Nvidia DLSS support up to speed with the latest features. Following this patch, the RPG will run the newest upscaling, frame generation, and ray tracing denoiser models out of the box, while also introducing dynamic multi frame generation.
Nvidia has shared the DLSS-specific upgrades coming as part of Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.5, ahead of the developer’s REDstream at 4pm (BST). We don’t yet know what other changes the patch will entail, technical or otherwise, but I’d at least expect details on tie-ins to the new season of the Edgerunners anime, which premiered on October 20.
It’s been possible to run Cyberpunk 2077 with the latest DLSS models since Nvidia App override controls debuted back in August 2025. However, following update 2.5, the game will conveniently just run with them out of the box regardless of your settings. Of course, that fresh support will only last until one or more pieces of Nvidia’s tech suite gets an update.
We’ve previously analysed the benefits of DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution and DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction in Cyberpunk 2077, and these technologies make for welcome uplifts over older versions. However, of all these upgrades, I’m most keen to give DLSS 4.5 dynamic multi frame generation a whirl.
For those unfamiliar with this tech, dynamic frame generation varies the multiplier of interpolated frames (typically 2x to 6x) depending on your current frame rate’s distance from your set target. In practice, this means you could aim for 360fps and your game will automatically switch from 6x frame gen at native 60fps to 4x at 90fps, all on the fly.
Here’s hoping that update 2.5 also ushers in refreshes for Cyberpunk’s FSR and XeSS software suites, in addition to these DLSS upgrades. I’d love to see FSR Redstone features such as ray regeneration and ML-based frame generation at work in Night City, and native support for XeSS 3 wouldn’t go amiss either. You’ll see all changes take hold in the game come October 22.
