Overview
- Patch 5.01, which deployed Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, is live on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and appears as console build 5.000.400.
- Console players can now toggle Bloom and access Light Shafts and Depth of Field settings while CDPR also adjusted bloom, tone mapping, character lighting, ray/path tracing and changed the default dynamic resolution scaling to off.
- The patch fixes a console audio bug that made voiceover lines much quieter after using pause‑menu tabs and resolves PS5 frame‑rate and settings‑reset issues.
- A broad set of gameplay, UI and save fixes address problems such as automatic blade oils, uncontrollable boats, ladder animations, delayed dodging, stamina drain when sprinting and a Vizima chest reward bug that may duplicate some items after being corrected.
- PC and GPU fixes stop unsupported graphics options from being enabled, prevent the wrong GPU from being selected, and stop DLSS/XeSS from applying on incompatible cards while CDPR continues to collect reports and plans further updates and closer Switch 2 parity ahead of the 2027 DLC.
