Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5, the free Edgerunners 2 Update, was released on October 22, 2026. If you are heading back to Night City, the patch brings Edgerunners 2 content, dual-wielding, cyberware customization, and mod support. Cross-Platform Mod Support is an in-game menu for browsing and installing a selection of player-created mods on supported platforms.
The confirmed release date is October 22, but that does not set an exact rollout hour. Some versions were scheduled to arrive in the days after launch. The update also adds clothing and Photo Mode options, plus fixes for issues affecting play in various languages.
The update’s biggest draw is that it adds both new Night City content and ways to change how V looks and fights.

Players asking for the Cyberpunk Update 2.5 release time have a confirmed date, not an official rollout hour. The exact hour is not part of the announced schedule, so do not treat an estimated time as official.
October 22, 2026, is the confirmed release date for Update 2.5, not a confirmed download hour.
As of October 28, the Cyberpunk 2077 update is already live on its launch-day platforms. The PC and Mac versions through Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store were scheduled for October 22.
The confirmed 2026 date belongs to Update 2.5, rather than Update 2.4. The Cyberpunk Update 2.3 release date was July 17, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Mac.
Update 2.3 added AutoDrive, Delamain taxi rides, four vehicles, and expanded Photo Mode. Its additions were separate from the new story and combat features in Update 2.5.
For the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mac App Store, the planned schedule allowed a few days after October 22. Check the platform’s own update menu for the version currently available to download.
What New Content Does Update 2.5 Add to Night City?
The update adds a new Edgerunners 2 side quest, a themed gear reward, and a radio station featuring music from the anime series. These additions give you fresh reasons to explore Night City, even before you try the new appearance options.
Clampdown requires The Heist and two gigs for Wakako before her message can start the quest. The update also adds outfits, vehicle skins, hairstyles, and cyberware looks.
Edgerunners story, music, and rewards
Clampdown takes place before Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. Complete The Heist, finish two gigs for Wakako, then wait for her message to arrive.
The new side quest rewards a five-piece gear set based on King. Its story gives the Edgerunners update a direct tie to the anime’s world, rather than offering only themed items.
HKGN 102.0 FM is a new radio station with music from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners series. Tune in while driving through Night City to hear tracks from the show.
Another Edgerunners-related addition comes through Twitch Drops. Four TWINTONE skins for the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech are available through those Drops.
Clothing and vehicle customization
Five new outfit sets are sold through clothing vendors. Some vendors carry specific sets, so the NUS Infiltrator gear is not available at every shop.
- Maxiwear: Heywood, Arroyo, and Little China
- Jinguji: City Center
- NetWatch: Kabuki and Japantown
- IconAmerica: Pacifica, Badlands, and Northside
- NUS Infiltrator: Kabuki and Japantown
The clothing vendors give you several places to look for new outfits across the city. The NUS Infiltrator set has a specific location, while the other named sets appear at their listed stores.
Some hairstyles once limited to non-player characters are now available for V. A few styles depend on whether V has a feminine or masculine body type.
The four TWINTONE skins change the look of the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech vehicle. They come through Twitch Drops, so a Twitch reward is different from a standard clothing vendor purchase.
Cyberware looks and Photo Mode
Glamdocs are specialist shops where V can customize cyberware’s appearance. Update 2.5 adds five Glamdocs, each with a unique skin catalog, an intro scene, voiceover, and animations.
You can apply cosmetic skins to Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire, and Projectile Launch System. Glamdocs also let you customize colors, so your cyberware can match your outfit or stand apart from it.
Photo Mode gains Cyberpunk Trading Card Game frames and new poses. These options let you build a scene around V, then frame the image with a card-inspired border.
The photo options are useful when you want more than a quick snapshot of a fight. You can pose V and choose a themed frame without changing the gear equipped for combat.
Check the Twitch Drops requirements before expecting the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech skins to appear in your wardrobe.
How Do Dual-Wielding, Mods, and New Quests Work?
Dual-wielding is new, but it is restricted to Power Pistols and Revolvers through the Double Trouble perk. You also need its four auxiliary perks before the combat option is fully available.
Cross-Platform Mod Support lets you browse and install a selection of player-created mods in-game. The catalog runs through mod.io, and more mods can arrive over time.
Dual-wielding and its weapon limits
Double Trouble sits in the Cool tree and enables dual-wielding for Power-category Pistols and Revolvers. The four auxiliary perks support that setup.
That limit matters if you expected to pair any two weapons. The perk does not extend dual-wielding to every weapon class, and it does not make other gun types eligible.
Choose Power Pistols or Revolvers when testing the perk. A different weapon type will not gain the same dual-wield option.
Cross-platform mods on supported systems
Cross-Platform Mod Support is available on PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The in-game menu contains a selection, not every mod made by players.
Browse the catalog from the game instead of treating it as a full list of all community work. The available choices can grow over time as more mods arrive.
There is one major limit for console players: a modded save cannot earn achievements or trophies. The rule applies while playing from that save, so a modded run will not count toward those awards.
New quests, Tarot cards, and quality-of-life changes
Welcome to Paradise unlocks after The Heist and reaching level 15 Street Cred, V’s reputation level in Night City. The quest adds another reason to build V’s reputation alongside story progress.
The Fool on the Hill extension activates after you scan any of 12 new Minor Arcana Tarot Cards. A separate menu section now groups Major Arcana cards apart from Minor Arcana cards.
Several smaller changes make saved games and menus easier to manage. Save files can be grouped by playthrough, and stash filters help sort stored items.
Console players also get a field-of-view slider. The option lets you change how much of the scene appears on screen while playing.
AMD FSR settings have changed. FSR 3 upscaling is removed, while FSR 2.1, FSR 4, and FSR 3.1 Frame Generation remain available.
Keep a non-modded console save available if earning trophies or achievements matters to you.
Which Technical Changes and Fixes Are in the Patch Notes?
The technical additions span DLSS, Mac graphics features, compatible 3D monitors, and console performance improvements. The changes affect different hardware, so the options you see depend on your system.
DLSS 4.5 supports up to 6X Multi Frame Generation or Dynamic Multi Frame Generation. Its second-generation Transformer Model is another part of the PC graphics update.
Graphics and hardware support
DLSS 4.5 adds options for supported PC graphics hardware, but it does not promise a set frame rate. The result depends on your setup and selected settings.
Compatible Samsung Odyssey 3D monitors can show glasses-free 3D effects. The patch also adds a Motion Comfort setting for those displays.
Mac players get MetalFX Frame Interpolation and Denoising support. FSR Anti-Lag 2 also gains a settings toggle, so you can switch that feature on or off.
Performance optimizations include ray tracing and PlayStation 5 Pro improvements. HDR rendering has also been improved for more accurate color, brightness, and contrast.
These changes cover different systems, from Mac graphics features to console performance work. If you follow console frame-rate targets, keep reported targets separate from confirmed game modes.
Fixes that affect play
The patch notes list fixes for problems that could interrupt play or change what you see. The most direct fixes address save space, HDR settings, quest progress, and controls.
- Nintendo Switch 2: fixed the “Save failed – insufficient space” issue.
- PlayStation 5: fixed an issue with HDR settings.
- Delamain cab: fixed a bug that could block quest progression.
- Film Grain: fixed an issue that kept the effect from working.
- Scanning: fixed controls that could change V’s stance.
The update also restores missing controller settings for the Third-Person Camera. That gives you access to settings that were not appearing in the menu.
Other fixes cover typos in various languages and features or content added since Patch 2.1. The patch notes include more than the five player-facing fixes listed above.
DLSS 4.5 offers up to 6X Multi Frame Generation, but no setting guarantees a specific frame rate on every PC.
After updating, revisit graphics and control settings to confirm the options you use are enabled.
Conclusion
Update 2.5 is a substantial new reason to return to Night City, especially if you want fresh story content or new ways to customize V. The patch is already out on its launch platforms, with later versions following their staggered schedule.
Its clearest draws include Edgerunners 2 content, dual-wielding, cyberware customization, and mod support. Your next step is to check the in-game patch notes and your platform’s update menu for the version and features available to you.
Open the patch notes in-game, then decide which new quest or feature you want to try first.
FAQ
Will Cyberpunk 2077 receive anymore updates?
Update 2.5 is the latest update with a confirmed release in the facts covered here. That does not mean future support has ended, and it does not confirm another patch. For now, you can check the in-game patch notes and your platform’s update menu for current changes. The update adds new content and features, but no future release date is stated here.
What do you need to do to unlock Clampdown?
Complete The Heist and two gigs for Wakako, then wait for her message. Clampdown is a new side quest set before Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. Wakako’s message comes after those requirements, so finishing the jobs alone does not start the quest at once. The reward is a five-piece gear set based on King.
Which weapons can V dual-wield with Double Trouble?
Double Trouble and its four auxiliary perks allow V to dual-wield Power-category Pistols and Revolvers. The perk does not apply to every weapon type. It sits in the Cool tree, so you need the perk setup before using the option. If a weapon is outside those two Power categories, it is not eligible for this dual-wield feature.
Which cyberware can you customize in Update 2.5?
You can customize the appearance of Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire, and Projectile Launch System. Visit a Glamdoc to browse its cyberware skin catalog and adjust colors. Update 2.5 adds five Glamdocs, each with a unique catalog and its own intro scene, voiceover, and animations. These changes affect appearance, not the cyberware’s combat role.
Can console players earn trophies from modded saves?
No, console players cannot earn achievements or trophies while playing from a modded save. Cross-Platform Mod Support is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as PC and Mac. Keep a separate non-modded save if you want to earn console awards during another playthrough.
