What about PS5 Pro support or New Game Plus?Many players had two main wishes for Cyberpunk 2077. In addition to PS5 Pro support for Sony's most powerful games console, there have been calls from the community for a New Game Plus mode for a long time.

Marcin Momot, the Global Community Director at CD Projekt Red, already hadexplained in advancethat we don't need to hope for these two features in Update 2.2.

Quest designer Pawel Sasko explained why New Game Plus is not suitable for the game a few months ago. Accordingly, it is simply too complicated to sensibly combine all the skills that we unlock during the game with the options at the start of the game and a lot of adjustments to the structure of the game would be necessary.
