Version 9 of Ultra+ fully realizes what we've called V4 Lighting System. This is the most advanced and comprehensive lighting system for Cyberpunk, fixing all bugs with path traced lighting, and realizing physically accurate path tracing in Cyberpunk for the first time.

It does this in real-time across the entire game and is written in highly optimized C++.

For all the improvements in V9, see: theultraplace.com/games/cyberpunk2077/
