Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5 Release Date

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5 — officially the Edgerunners 2 Update — is out now. CD Projekt RED detailed it in a REDstream broadcast on October 21, 2026, then released the free patch the very next day, Tuesday, October 22, 2026, on PC, Mac, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The one release date still open is Nintendo Switch 2: CDPR says that version arrives "in the days to follow," and as of October 26, 2026 no exact date has been announced.

The timing is no accident. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, the second season of the Studio Trigger anime, premiered on Netflix on October 20, 2026 — and Update 2.5 is the game-side companion piece, themed around the show. Here is the full platform rollout, what is actually in the patch, and what it means for the future of the game.

The short answer

• PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store) and Mac: released October 22, 2026
• PlayStation 5 / PS5 Pro: released October 22, 2026
• Xbox Series X|S: released October 22, 2026 — the game also became an Xbox Play Anywhere title with this update, and Cyberpunk 2077 joined Game Pass earlier in 2026, so subscribers get 2.5 at no extra cost
• Nintendo Switch 2: no exact date — "coming soon," expected within days of the main launch
• Price: free on every platform. Update 2.5 is a patch, not an expansion

How the release went down

Unlike Update 2.3, which slipped from June 26 to July 17, 2025, there was no delay drama this time — there was barely an announcement window at all. The rollout looked like this:

• October 20, 2026 — Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 premieres on Netflix, all episodes at once
• October 21, 2026 — CDPR holds a REDstream detailing Update 2.5 and reveals the full patch notes
• October 22, 2026 — Update 2.5 goes live on PC, Mac, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, one day later
• "Days to follow" — Switch 2 and Mac App Store versions, per CDPR's own wording; no date yet

If you searched for an Update 2.5 release date before October 22 and found only speculation, that is why: CDPR kept the window between announcement and launch to about 24 hours.

What's in Update 2.5

This is the biggest content drop since Update 2.3 in July 2025, and the first one built around the Edgerunners universe. The highlights (the full patch notes are on CDPR's site):

Edgerunners content

• "Clampdown" — a new side quest set before the events of Edgerunners 2. It unlocks after finishing The Heist and two Wakako gigs, once her message comes in. Completing it earns a five-piece gear set based on King, a character from the show
• HKGN 102.0 FM — a new radio station with tracks from the Edgerunners series

The Double Trouble perk

• Cyberpunk 2077's first dual-wielding playstyle. The new Cool-tree perk (plus four auxiliary perks) lets V dual-wield Power-category Pistols and Revolvers, with new Photo Mode poses to show it off

Mods on every platform

• Cross-platform mod support via mod.io: a built-in browser to find and install mods from inside the game — on PC, Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2 alike. Console players finally get mods without touching a file manager. Note that achievements stay disabled on modded saves

Customization and style

• Glamdocs — five new shops that reskin your arm cyberware (Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire, Projectile Launch System) with color options
• New outfit sets from Maxiwear, Jinguji, NetWatch and IconAmerica vendors, plus NPC-exclusive hairstyles for V
• "Welcome to Paradise!" — a guided Night City tour narrated by Richard Night himself (unlocks after The Heist, 15 Street Cred)
• 12 new Minor Arcana tarot cards to collect, extending the Fool on the Hill questline

Quality of life and tech

• FOV slider on consoles, saves grouped by playthrough, item filters for stashes
• DLSS 4.5 support with up to 6X Multi Frame Generation on PC, MetalFX frame interpolation on Mac, glasses-free 3D on Samsung Odyssey 3D monitors, and PS5 Pro optimizations
• A fix for the Switch 2 "Save failed — insufficient space" error

When does Update 2.5 come to Nintendo Switch 2?

This is the only Cyberpunk 2.5 release date still missing. CDPR's announcement says the update is "coming soon" to Switch 2 and that it and the Mac App Store version arrive "in the days to follow" — wording that points to a short wait rather than a porting crisis, since the Switch 2 build already exists (Update 2.3 shipped on Switch 2 in 2025, and 2.5 includes a Switch 2-specific fix).

We will update this section the moment a date lands. If history is a guide, CDPR tends to announce these on a Monday or Tuesday and ship the same week.

Why is there no Update 2.4?

Because CDPR skipped the number. Update 2.5 follows 2.3 directly — there is no Update 2.4, and CDPR has not explained the jump. If you were searching for an Update 2.4 release date, it never existed. The version timeline so far:

• Update 2.0 — September 2023, the big perks/police/vehicle combat overhaul alongside the Phantom Liberty expansion
• Update 2.1 — December 5, 2023, added the NCX metro system, boss reworks and radio additions
• Update 2.2 — December 10, 2024, deeper character customization and vehicle paint
• Update 2.3 — July 17, 2025, AutoDrive, four new vehicles, photo mode NPCs
• Update 2.4 — does not exist
• Update 2.5 — October 22, 2026, the Edgerunners 2 Update

Is Update 2.5 the last Cyberpunk 2077 update?

All signs point to 2.5 being the final major content update for Cyberpunk 2077. CDPR has framed it as the wrap-up of the game's post-launch content cycle, and the studio's RPG teams are now fully invested in The Witcher 4 and Project Orion, the Cyberpunk sequel — which has no announced release date.

Two caveats. First, "final" does not mean the game goes dark: the Switch 2 rollout is still ahead, and maintenance patches and hotfixes remain possible. Second, the community has heard farewell notes from CDPR before — the studio repeatedly extended support well past the points it once called the end. Treat "final major update" as accurate and "final patch" as unproven.

FAQ

Is Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5 out?

Yes. Update 2.5, the Edgerunners 2 Update, was released on October 22, 2026 for PC (Steam, GOG, Epic), Mac, PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. The Nintendo Switch 2 version is still pending, with no exact date as of October 26, 2026.

Is Update 2.5 free?

Yes — it is a free patch for everyone who owns Cyberpunk 2077 on any platform, including Xbox Game Pass subscribers, since the base game joined Game Pass earlier in 2026.

How do I get Update 2.5?

Update your game as usual: it should download automatically on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC launchers, or trigger via a manual "check for updates." There is nothing to buy — no expansion, no edition upgrade.

When does Update 2.5 come to Nintendo Switch 2?

No exact date yet. CDPR says "coming soon" / "in the days to follow." The Switch 2 already runs Update 2.3, so this is a matter of days-level timing, not a new port.

Is this the last Cyberpunk 2077 update?

The last major content update, almost certainly — CDPR's focus has moved to Project Orion, the sequel. Small fixes can still ship, and the Switch 2 version of 2.5 is still on the way.
