Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.5 "Edgerunners 2" went live on 22 October 2026, timed to the Netflix premiere of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 (all 10 episodes available since 20 October). This is the game's largest free update since Phantom Liberty and CDPR's most substantial patch since 2.3 in July 2025.
The update is available on PC, Mac, PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. Switch 2 and Mac App Store versions will follow at an unspecified later date (Forbes, gematsu.com).
Edgerunners 2 tie-in content
New side quest "Clampdown"
A fully voiced prequel mission set before the events of Edgerunners Season 2. Unlock by completing "The Pickup" main mission plus two Wakako gigs, then wait for her call. The quest features characters from the anime's new mercenary squad and awards a five-piece "King" equipment set inspired by the character Weak Kingsley (cyberpunk.net, gamersky.com).
New radio station HKGN 102.0 FM
A curated selection of 16 tracks spanning both Edgerunners seasons.
New tarot cards
12 new Minor Arcana cards scattered across Night City. These extend the "Fool on the Hill" quest line. Scan any one to activate the quest; collect all for a special reward.
Dual-wielding — the "Double Trouble" system
The most-requested gameplay addition: dual-wielding kinetic handguns and revolvers via the new "Double Trouble" perk in the Cool skill tree, plus four supporting sub-perks (17173, 搜狐).
- What is allowed: kinetic-category pistols and revolvers
- What is excluded: smart weapons, tech pistols, melee weapons, any non-kinetic sidearm
- Build impact: Dual-wielding significantly increases DPS at close range but carries a substantial recoil penalty. Builds investing in Cool will see the highest benefit; this synergises with stealth/crit pistol builds that were already strong post-Phantom Liberty
- Jackie's guns are now also usable, per the official patch notes
Cyberware customisation — Glamdoc shops
Five new Glamdoc clinics (marked with spray-paint icons on the map) allow full visual customisation of arm cyberware: Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire and Projectile Launch System. Each shop has a unique intro animation with voice acting and offers colour-customisable skins (gamersky.com, cyberpunk.net).
Cross-platform MOD support
Curated player-created MODs can now be browsed and installed directly from the in-game menu on PC, Mac, PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. This is described as "the first step toward cross-platform modding" with more MODs to follow (搜狐).
Important caveats:
- MOD saves are marked with a special icon in the load menu
- Using MODs on console disables achievements and trophies for that save file
- The curated selection is smaller than Nexus Mods on PC
