Overview
- CD Projekt Red released a PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro exclusive hotfix on Tuesday identified as 5.01b and appearing as update 5.000.500.
- The studio described the patch only as introducing “various stability improvements,” without a detailed changelog.
- Players report the update fixed some base PS5 lighting problems for certain users but did not eliminate crashes and many still experience instability.
- Separate reports show broader problems remain across platforms, including frame drops, stuttering, HDR and lighting inconsistencies, flickering textures, visual glitches, and slow inventory loading.
- CDPR has been issuing rapid follow‑up patches since the remaster’s late‑September release, has already added console graphics toggles, and says work continues toward platform parity and a Switch 2 build.
