The Ray Tracing Pro mode is where you&#8217;ll find most of the visual updates made specifically for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/tech\/playstation-5-pro\">PS5 Pro<\/a>, targeting 30-40 fps, with a new &#8216;BVH8&#8217;, or 8-way bounding volume hierarchy ray tracing implementation. CDPR didn&#8217;t detail exactly how this works, but it looks like it&#8217;ll track up to 8 rays of light to create more realistic reflections, shadows and global illumination. That&#8217;s not <em>quite<\/em> to the same level as the Ray Tracing Overdrive mode on PC, but it should bring the PS5 Pro closer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just last month, Sony announced that Cyberpunk 2077 would be getting a PSSR 2 update, but now CD Projekt Red has followed up with a huge PS5 Pro update that&#8217;ll drop on April 8.
