Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5 arrives Oct. 22 with Edgerunners 2 content

CD Projekt Red has announced Update 2.5 for Cyberpunk 2077, a free patch that launches on October 22, 2026. It arrives just after the second season of the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners debuted on Netflix on October 20, and the studio says it will include content inspired by the new season.

The update will go live on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, according to Eurogamer and IGN. CD Projekt Red said a Nintendo Switch 2 version “will follow shortly”. The studio has described the patch as bringing “new items and features” to the game.

So far, two features have been named. In a social media post, the Cyberpunk 2077 account said: “We’re talking cyberware customization, a new dual-wielding playstyle, and more!” Beyond that, the studio has kept details quiet. GamesRadar+ notes that new key art shows V alongside Weak Kingsley, one of the four protagonists of Edgerunners 2.

More information is due on October 21 in a special episode of REDstreams, scheduled for 5pm CEST (8am PT, 11am ET). IGN reports that patch notes will be published the same day. Paweł Sasko, associate game director on Cyberpunk 2, posted that he is excited about what the team has made for players, as reported by GameSpot and IGN.

Why it matters

The first Edgerunners season, released in 2022, is credited by GameSpot with reviving interest in Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red marked that debut with an update adding Edgerunners-inspired cosmetics. GamesRadar+ says that update also brought new weapons, gear and some new gigs, and the studio is now repeating the approach for season two.

The announcement also sits awkwardly with earlier messaging. IGN reports that in May, CD Projekt said it had “no plans” for further Cyberpunk 2077 DLC or expansions, and that co-CEO Michał Nowakowski has suggested Cyberpunk 2 will not arrive until at least 2030. The only expansion so far is 2023’s Phantom Liberty. A free 2.5 patch is not an expansion, but it gives players new content in the meantime.

The game remains a strong seller. CD Projekt said in July that Cyberpunk 2077 had passed 40 million copies sold, up 5 million from November 2025, according to IGN.

What we don’t know yet

The full scope of Update 2.5 is unclear. Beyond cyberware customization and dual-wielding, the studio has not said whether it includes new gigs, cosmetics or story content. No date has been given for the Switch 2 version beyond “shortly”.
