Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 Update: All New Features and Quests

Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.5, which CD PROJEKT RED calls the Edgerunners 2 Update, came out on October 22, 2026. It's a free update tied to the second season of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime on Netflix. It adds two side quests, a dual-wielding perk, new looks for arm cyberware, an in-game mod menu that also works on consoles, and a long list of graphics and quality-of-life changes.

Last checked: November 9, 2026. Details come from CD PROJEKT RED's official 2.5 patch notes unless noted otherwise.

Update 2.5 at a glance

Release date and platforms

Update 2.5 went live on October 22, 2026 on:

• PC through Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store
• Mac through Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store
• PlayStation 5
• Xbox Series X|S

CD PROJEKT RED said the Nintendo Switch 2 version and the Mac App Store version would follow within a few days, without giving a date. The update is free, and nothing in the patch notes says any of the new content needs the Phantom Liberty expansion.

The new quests

Clampdown

Clampdown is the headline addition. It's a side quest set before the events of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, built around the character King. To unlock it:

1. Finish the main job The Heist.
2. Complete two gigs for Wakako Okada, the fixer in Westbrook's Japantown.
3. Wait until Wakako messages you.

GamesRadar notes that you also need to get through the missions that follow The Heist and open up the city, Love Like Fire and Playing for Time. During Clampdown you can get the King gear set, a five-piece set based on the character.

Welcome to Paradise

Welcome to Paradise is a side quest built around a guided tour of Night City, narrated by the city's founder, Richard Night. It unlocks once you've finished The Heist and reached Street Cred 15. According to GamesRadar, a character named Aera then contacts you and asks you to find her missing sister, Haze. The tour takes you to landmarks across the city, and a few stops end in fights, so bring a decent loadout.

12 new Tarot cards

The update hides 12 new Minor Arcana Tarot cards around Night City. The Tarot menu now splits the cards into Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. Scanning any of the new cards starts an extension of the Fool on the Hill quest, and finding all 12 earns a special reward.

Dual wielding with Double Trouble

The new Double Trouble perk in the Cool tree lets V hold a handgun in each hand. It comes with four extra perks that build on it. Only Power pistols and Power revolvers can be dual-wielded, so Tech and Smart handguns, SMGs and shotguns don't qualify. Our dual wield guide covers the Cool level you need, how to equip the second gun and what each of the extra perks does.

New looks for arm cyberware at Glamdocs

You can now restyle your arm cyberware: Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire and the Projectile Launch System. Head to one of the five Glamdocs, marked on the map with a spray paint icon. Each Glamdoc has its own shop and an intro scene with voiceover, plus a catalog of skins whose colors you can adjust.

New clothes, hairstyles and photo mode options

Five new outfit sets are sold by clothing vendors. Four are in the game now, and the fifth is coming later:

Other cosmetic changes:

• NUS Infiltrator set: now sold by clothing vendors in Kabuki and Japantown.
• Hairstyles: some styles that only NPCs had before are now available for V. A few are limited to the feminine or masculine body type.
• Photo mode: new Trading Card Game frames and dual-wield poses.
• Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech: four new TWINTONE paint jobs, handed out through Twitch Drops.

Mods on PC, consoles and Switch 2

Update 2.5 adds a Mods menu, powered by mod.io, where you can browse and install mods that players have made without leaving the game. The patch notes list PC, Mac, PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2. You sign in with a CD PROJEKT RED account, and saves made with mods turned on are marked with an icon. On consoles, those modded saves can't earn trophies or achievements. Our mods guide walks through setup step by step.

Quality-of-life changes

• Load Game now groups your saves by playthrough.
• Apartment and vehicle stashes have item filters.
• Consoles get a field of view (FOV) slider.
• The CD PROJEKT RED Account connection, My Rewards and telemetry consent menus were updated.

Graphics and technology changes

• DLSS 4.5 support, including up to 6X Multi Frame Generation, Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and the second-generation Transformer model.
• FSR changes: FSR 3 upscaling was removed. FSR 2.1, FSR 4 and FSR 3.1 Frame Generation are still there, and there's a new FSR Anti-Lag 2 toggle.
• MetalFX Frame Interpolation on Mac.
• Glasses-free 3D on compatible Samsung Odyssey 3D monitors, with a Motion Comfort setting.
• Better HDR color, brightness and contrast on supported displays.
• Performance work, including for ray tracing and the PS5 Pro.

• Delamain cabs no longer get stuck after a crash, which could block quest progress.
