Coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, the free update is launching on December 14th, 2022 and will feature a host of visual, performance, and technical enhancements including ray tracing support, faster loading times on consoles, and even select mods integrated into the game.

The update will be free to owners of any version of the game on applicable platforms, and will also be available for purchase as a new “Complete Edition” of the game – including a physical version with more details coming at a later date.
