CD Projekt Red launches Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5 on Oct. 22

CD Projekt Red will release Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5, also called the Edgerunners 2 Update, on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Mac./

CD Projekt Red published the patch notes on Oct. 21, 2026. The October 22 release reaches PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Mac through Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store. Nintendo Switch 2 players and Mac App Store users will receive the free update in the days after Oct. 22, 2026, and the company has not provided an exact date./

The update adds cross-platform mod support through mod.io, a mod platform that lets players browse and install community mods from the in-game menu, with more added over time. CD Projekt Red uses the same mod.io setup that supports The Witcher 3 Remastered. On consoles, players cannot earn achievements and trophies from a modded save, and modded saves appear with a dedicated icon in the Load Game menu./

Coverage of the mod-compatible platforms disagrees on Switch 2. VICE’s patch notes list PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S without naming Nintendo’s handheld. Yahoo Tech and Beebom both include Switch 2 in the mod-support platform list./

A new Double Trouble perk in the Cool skill tree lets V dual-wield Power Pistols and Revolvers, supported by four perks. Five new vendors called Glamdocs let players change the appearance of Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire and the Projectile Launch System with customizable colors. Each Glamdoc appears on the map with a spray paint icon and runs a shop featuring an introduction and a selection of cyberware skins. Rock Paper Shotgun reports that the vendors offer 40 alternative looks for cyberware./

A new side quest called Clampdown takes place before the events of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 and rewards a five-piece King gear set. Players unlock Clampdown after completing The Heist, finishing two gigs for Wakako and waiting for her message. Associate Game Director Pawel Sasko discussed the quest in a REDStreams episode. A second side quest, Welcome to Paradise, sends players on a guided tour of Night City narrated by the city’s founder, Richard Night, while they investigate a mystery; finishing The Heist and reaching Street Cred level 15 unlocks it./

12 new Minor Arcana Tarot Cards sit hidden across Night City, and scanning any of them starts a side quest extending Fool on the Hill. Collecting the complete set unlocks a special reward, and the Tarot menu divides into Major and Minor Arcana sections./

Quality-of-life changes include a console field-of-view slider, which lets players widen or narrow the camera view. The Load Game menu groups saves by playthrough, and item filters cover apartment and vehicle stashes./

PC players get DLSS 4.5 upscaling, a tool that lifts frame rates and image quality, including up to 6X Multi Frame Generation, Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and the second-generation Transformer Model. FSR 3 is removed while FSR 2.1, FSR 4 and FSR 3.1 remain available, and both DLSS and FSR are upscaling tools that lift frame rates and image quality. Mac players receive MetalFX Frame Interpolation and Denoising, and an FSR Anti-Lag 2 toggle joins the settings. PC players also get glasses-free 3D on compatible Samsung Odyssey 3D monitors, with a Motion Comfort setting./

Ray tracing and PlayStation 5 Pro receive performance optimizations, and HDR rendering is improved for accurate colors, brightness and contrast. CD Projekt Red Account, My Rewards and telemetry consent menus are updated./

Bug fixes address a Nintendo Switch 2 insufficient-space saving error, PlayStation 5 HDR issues, a Delamain cab progression blocker in Things Done Changed, and missing third-person camera controller settings. Other fixes correct Film Grain having no effect, enemy tagging that makes V crouch or stand, typos across languages, and issues with content introduced since Patch 2.1./

The update also adds radio station HKGN 102.0 FM with music from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners series, five new clothing collections from Maxiwear, Jinguji, NetWatch and IconAmerica with a sixth set coming later, and four TWINTONE skins for the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech through Twitch Drops. Vendors sell the clothing collections in districts including Heywood, Arroyo, Little China, City Center, Kabuki, Japantown, Pacifica, Badlands and Northside, and vendors sell the NUS Infiltrator set in Kabuki and Japantown./

CD Projekt Red and co-developer Virtuos produced the update, which arrives shortly after Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 premiered on Netflix on Oct. 20, 2026. The studio scheduled a livestream on Oct. 21, 2026, at 11 a.m. ET to share more information. Polygon reports that a content creator published a now-private video detailing the update before the studio’s official unveiling, and fans shared details after the video was removed./
