[GameSpot] - Crysis Remastered Next-Gen Update Adds Ascension Level On Consoles For The First Time

Recommended Posts

Crysis Remastered has gotten an update that adds a previously missing stage to consoles for the first time. The Ascension mission, in which a player pilots a Vulture VTOL, has been added to the game on PS4 and PS5, among other bug fixes and improvements. The update also introduces support for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The Ascension mission was included in the original PC release of Crysis but was never brought to console releases. Crysis Remastered retained the absence when it was released for PlayStation and Xbox platforms last year, but this new update finally brings it to console players.

In addition, players on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S can play at up to 60fps with presets for Performance mode (1080p 60fps), Quality mode (up to 2160p 60fps), and Ray Tracing mode (up to 1440p 60fps). Those adjustments come alongside a wide variety of bug fixes across both sets of platforms. You can see the full patch notes with bug fixes below.

Crysis is known for pushing the limits of hardware, and actually did so as recently as last year when it was the first game to bring ray tracing to PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. Another version, without ray tracing and some other high-end graphical features, is available for the Nintendo Switch.
