Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.5 patch notes: dual wielding, mod support and the Edgerunners 2 quest

Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.5: what the Edgerunners 2 update adds

Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.5 is out now. CD Projekt Red released the free Edgerunners 2 update on October 22, 2026 for PC, Mac, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mac App Store versions following in the days after launch. It is timed to the Netflix release of the second Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime season, and the studio's own post opens with the line "Night City's not quite done with you!"

The headline additions are a new Edgerunners-themed side quest, a dual-wielding playstyle, cyberware customization, and cross-platform mod support. Around them sits a long list of cosmetics, photo mode features, graphics options and fixes. CD Projekt Red published the full patch notes on its own site a day before release, so every item below comes from the developer's notes rather than from leaks or hands-on impressions.

The Clampdown quest and the Edgerunners content

The Edgerunners link is the reason this update exists. The update is timed to the anime's second season on Netflix, and CD Projekt Red's launch trailer for the update carries the line "In the City of (Broken) Dreams, it's not about how you flatline." The update itself is free content rather than paid DLC.

The story piece is Clampdown, a side quest set before the events of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. To unlock it you need to finish The Heist, complete two gigs for the fixer Wakako, and then wait for her to message you. It is a side quest rather than a new campaign chapter.

Alongside it come a five-piece gear set based on King, and a new radio station, HKGN 102.0 FM, with tracks from the anime. CD Projekt Red also describes a second new quest, Welcome to Paradise, a tour narrated by Richard Night that unlocks after The Heist once you reach level 15 Street Cred. The update adds 12 Minor Arcana tarot cards too, tied to an extension of the Fool on the Hill collectible chain.

Cyberpunk 2077 dual wielding: how the Double Trouble perk works

Dual wielding is the biggest change to moment-to-moment combat. A new perk called Double Trouble sits in the Cool skill tree, and four auxiliary perks build on it. Together they let V fire two weapons at once, limited to Pistols and Revolvers in the Power category.

The studio pitches it as "a new playstyle that doubles your firepower with dedicated perks," per the announcement text quoted by Video Game Chronicle. That description deserves some caution until players test the balance: a perk that doubles firepower on paper can still be tuned by later patches. Photo mode also gets new dual-wielding poses, which suggests the studio expects people to show off the build.

Cross-platform mod support through mod.io

The most structurally significant feature is cross-platform mod support, powered by mod.io. Players can browse and install a curated selection of player-created mods from the in-game menu, and CD Projekt Red says more mods will arrive over time. Support is listed for PC, Mac, PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2.

The fine print matters on console. Saves that use mods get a modded-save icon, and achievements and trophies cannot be earned from modded saves on console. The notes do not say how many mods are available at launch, so the size of the catalogue is the thing to watch.

Cyberware customization, cosmetics and photo mode

V's hand cyberware can now be restyled. Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire and the Projectile Launch System can be customised at five Glamdocs around Night City. The notes describe it as a styling option, with no stat changes listed.

On the fashion side the update adds outfit sets from Maxiwear, Jinguji, NetWatch and IconAmerica, plus the NUS Infiltrator set at certain vendors in Kabuki and Japantown. Four TWINTONE skins for the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech are available through Twitch Drops, and some hairstyles that were exclusive to NPCs are now available to V. Photo mode gains Cyberpunk Trading Card Game frames.

Graphics: DLSS 4.5, FSR changes and 3D monitor support

PC players get DLSS 4.5 support, including up to 6X Multi Frame Generation and the second-generation Transformer model. The update also adds glasses-free 3D on compatible Samsung Odyssey 3D monitors, and MetalFX Frame Interpolation and Denoising on Mac.

AMD users should read this part carefully. FSR 3 upscaling has been removed, while FSR 2.1, FSR 4 and FSR 3.1 Frame Generation remain, and a new FSR Anti-Lag 2 toggle is added. The notes also list HDR improvements and optimizations for ray tracing and for the PS5 Pro.

Quality of life, fixes and what is still to come

Smaller changes will be felt daily: saves are grouped by playthrough, apartment and vehicle stashes get item filters, and consoles gain a field-of-view slider. Fixes include a Delamain cab that could get stuck after a crash and block quest progress, the Film Grain setting not working, missing controller settings for the third-person camera, and a Switch 2 "Save failed - insufficient space" error.

Mac players get their own graphics work in the same release, with MetalFX Frame Interpolation and Denoising, and the Mac App Store version follows a few days after launch. For anyone who put the game down after the last big patch, the practical advice is to update, check the new perk options in the Cool tree, and look at the mod menu before starting a new playthrough, because several of the changes work best with a fresh build.

The open question is timing on Switch 2 and the Mac App Store, which CD Projekt Red says will receive the update in the days after October 22 without naming a date. Video Game Chronicle notes that the studio called the previous update the game's last big one nearly two years ago, which makes 2.5 a notable reversal for a game that has sold 40 million copies and whose Phantom Liberty expansion has sold 15 million, per the developer.
