Quick answer
On PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S running Update 2.5 or later, open the game's pause menu, go to Settings, then find Field of View under the video options to adjust the first-person camera.
Cyberpunk 2077 shipped on consoles with a fixed, fairly narrow field of view, which left some players feeling queasy during vehicle chases and other first-person moments. That changed with the Edgerunners 2 Update, which finally gives PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S players a slider to widen or narrow that view.
This walks through where to find the new setting after installing Update 2.5, how to adjust it safely, and what to expect if your console or platform hasn’t received the update yet.
Before you start
- Difficulty Easy
- Time needed 5 minutes
- Works on PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S running Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5+
What you'll need
- Cyberpunk 2077 updated to version 2.5 (Edgerunners 2 Update) or later
- A PS5, PS5 Pro, or Xbox Series X|S console
- A few minutes to walk around and test the new field of view
Important
- Don't edit the game's configuration files to force a wider FOV than the slider allows; that practice has caused save and graphics corruption for PC players and isn't needed on console.
Find and Adjust the FOV Slider on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
The field of view control lives inside the game’s own settings menu rather than your console’s display options.
Step 1: Install Update 2.5
Launch Cyberpunk 2077 and check the version number on the main menu before doing anything else. The FOV slider only exists on version 2.5 (the Edgerunners 2 Update) or later, which rolled out October 22, 2026 for PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S.
If your console hasn’t downloaded it yet, let the update finish installing first.
Tip: Nintendo Switch 2 and the Mac App Store version receive Update 2.5 a few days after the initial release.
Step 2: Open Settings from the menu
From the main menu, or by pausing during a session, open Settings.
Step 3: Locate Field of View in the video options
Browse into the video or gameplay options and look for Field of View. CD Projekt Red hasn’t published the exact tab name for every console version, so check both Video and Gameplay tabs if it isn’t immediately visible.
This is a new in-game setting added specifically for console players, separate from anything in your console’s own system display menu.
Tip: Don't confuse this with your console's HDR or display settings; it only appears inside the game's own menus.
Step 4: Move the slider and apply your change
Drag the slider in small increments, then confirm or apply the change. CDPR hasn’t published an official numeric range for the console slider, so go by what you see on your own screen rather than figures quoted for the PC version.
Tip: Small adjustments are easier to judge than jumping straight to the extreme ends of the slider.
Step 5: Test the new view in a familiar area
Walk through a street or interior you know well, ideally somewhere you’d normally drive or fight in first person. A wider field of view shows more of Night City around V, but it stretches the edges of the screen and makes distant objects look smaller.
Tip: Try a vehicle section too, since that's where the old narrow FOV caused the most discomfort.
Step 6: Set your PS5 Pro graphics mode separately
If you’re on PS5 Pro, choose between Ray Tracing, Performance and Ray Tracing Pro modes before fine-tuning FOV, since these are a separate setting from field of view. Pick the performance mode you want first, then revisit the FOV slider to suit your comfort.
Pro tips
- Readjust the slider after switching graphics modes, since a different frame rate can change how comfortable a given FOV feels.
- If you get disoriented in vehicles, try a slightly wider FOV only for driving sections rather than maxing it out everywhere.
- Check the in-game version number any time the slider seems to go missing after a patch.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| The FOV slider doesn't appear in the settings menu | Restart the game and check both the Video and Gameplay tabs rather than the console's own display settings, and confirm Update 2.5 actually finished installing. |
| You're playing on PS4 or Xbox One | The slider isn't available on last-generation consoles due to hardware limits that existed at launch; you'll need a PS5, PS5 Pro, or Xbox Series X|S to get it. |
| You adjusted display settings but first-person view looks unchanged | Make sure you changed the in-game Field of View setting, not your console's system display or HDR menu, since those control different things. |
Frequently asked questions
Which consoles have the FOV slider in Cyberpunk 2077?

No, the patch notes describe it as adjusting the first-person camera only.
Do I need a new save file to use the FOV slider?
