The story in short

CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 update arrives Oct 22, bringing console mod support, a new eight‑player co‑op mode and fresh Edgerunners 2 story content.

CD Projekt Red has rolled out the long‑awaited Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 update on October 22. The patch introduces cross‑platform mod support for consoles, an eight‑player co‑op mode, dual‑wielding weapons and new content tied to the second season of the Netflix anime Edgerunners.

What we know

The 2.5 update goes live simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with Switch 2 receiving it a few days later, according to our own coverage. Patch notes reveal a handful of new systems: a dual‑wielding skill for pistols and revolvers, expanded cyberware customization, and a brand‑new side quest featuring voice talent from the Edgerunners anime.

Most headline‑grabbing is the introduction of console modding. Push Square reports that “over 50 mods on PS5” are available at launch, counting 52 community‑created additions ranging from new quests to romance enhancements. The Verge confirms that the mod framework works across PlayStation 5, Switch 2 and Xbox, accessed via a new “Mods” button on the game’s main menu.

Polygon adds that a separate co‑op mod lets up to eight players team up in shared missions, while Eurogamer notes that the update also includes a new Edgerunners‑specific story quest, directly tying the game’s narrative to the anime’s second season.

Why it matters for gamers

Console modding has been a missing piece for many PlayStation and Xbox owners. With a simple menu option, players can now download and install community creations without fiddling with PC‑only tools, echoing the seamless experience first seen in The Witcher 3 Remastered. This opens the door to fresh gameplay loops, extended replayability and a vibrant mod ecosystem on hardware that traditionally lacked it.

The eight‑player co‑op mode expands Cyberpunk’s social appeal, letting friends explore Night City together—a feature that was previously limited to solo play. Combined with dual‑wielding, the update adds tactical depth for both solo and group sessions.

Finally, the Edgerunners tie‑in delivers narrative continuity for fans of the Netflix series, ensuring the game remains culturally relevant and giving players new story content that references the anime’s characters and themes.

What to do now

First, make sure your console is updated to the latest firmware and download the 2.5 patch from the system store. Once the game launches, head to the newly added “Mods” tab to browse the 52 available mods for PlayStation 5 or the equivalent list on Xbox and Switch 2.

  • For PlayStation owners, see our Sony PlayStation guide for tips on managing storage and mod installations.
  • Xbox players can refer to the Microsoft Xbox platform guide for optimal performance settings.
  • Explore the new co‑op mode by creating a party in‑game or joining a friend’s session.
  • Check out the Edgerunners 2 side quest for a narrative boost that ties directly into the anime.

With these new tools at your disposal, Night City feels fresher than ever—whether you’re solo, modding, or teaming up with a squad.
