Key Takeaways

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.13 adds AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 and Intel Xe Super Sampling 1.3.
While the update lacks new gameplay features, it includes visual fixes, DLAA, and DLSS Ray Reconstruction.
PC users can now enable FSR3 via in-game settings, removing the need for a community-made mod.

As a dedicated Cyberpunk 2077 fan who’s been through the highs and lows of Night City since its launch, I must say, CD Projekt Red has once again proven their commitment to the game with the latest update. While we were under the impression that the updates would be a thing of the past, they’ve managed to surprise us yet again! The addition of AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 and Intel Xe Super Sampling 1.3 is a welcome move, especially since it was previously available only through a community-made mod.

CD Projekt Red unveiled an unexpected update for the PC edition of Cyberpunk 2077, upgrading it to version 2.13 and incorporating AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3, Intel Xe Super Sampling 1.3, and additional features. However, this September 12 update for Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t compatible with PlayStation or Xbox consoles at the moment. Yet, the studio has assured that cross-progression will continue to work as usual.

With the progress on the sequel for Cyberpunk 2077 gathering momentum, many assumed that support for this popular RPG had concluded. In March, it was announced by the game’s director that future updates for Cyberpunk 2077 would be smaller in scale as CD Projekt Red had already incorporated all the planned features and content into their post-launch support plan. Yet, just six months later, PC gamers have been surprised by a significant update that includes a highly sought-after feature.

On September 12, an unexpected update was rolled out for the PC edition of Cyberpunk 2077, introducing native support for AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR3). This graphic setting, also known as FSR3, merges image scaling with frame generation technologies to output high-resolution frames at quick frame rates. Until now, users had access to FSR3 via a mod; however, the official support is now accessible for PC players who update Cyberpunk 2077 to its latest version. To activate FSR3, gamers just need to navigate to the settings within the game, select the graphics tab, and then toggle on both FSR3 and FSR Frame Generation.

Although the new update is being heavily praised by the game’s community, there are plenty of users who have been left disappointed as the surprise update will likely break a plethora of popular Cyberpunk 2077 mods. Other players have also taken to Reddit to express their dissatisfaction with the update only implementing FSR3, as opposed to FSR 3.1.

The latest significant update for “Cyberpunk 2077” was in January, bringing about numerous enhancements, resolving various glitches, and introducing a new CrystalCoat feature that empowers players to customize the paint color of Rayfield vehicles. Although the September 12 update doesn’t introduce any new gameplay elements, PC gamers can expect several stability and visual adjustments, plus support for Intel Xe Super Sampling 1.3 – an advanced AI technology that enhances image quality and performance by upscaling images. The update also offers various other improvements and graphical features, including the option to activate both DLAA and DLSS Ray Reconstruction simultaneously.
