Overhauled for optimized visuals and performance on PlayStation 5, players can explore a neon metropolis in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. Brought to life with greater volumetric lighting, and find yourself lost in the depths of the city with increased rendering draw distance and fog quality.

More diffused, higher quality bloom gives a softer lighting effect against the dark streets, while higher resolution skyboxes provide increased fidelity.

Completing deliveries has never felt better with full DualSense support, including haptic feedback on rain effects, adaptive triggers that kick in when your vehicle is damaged, and a lightbar reflecting your all-important fuel status.

And finally, explore with a brand-new perspective in the much awaited cockpit mode, putting you in the driving seat.
