The story in short

CD Projekt Red announced a free Update 2.5 for Cyberpunk 2077, launching on October 22 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with new items and a dual‑wielding system inspired by the Netflix series Edgerunners 2.

CD Projekt Red confirmed that a free Update 2.5 for Cyberpunk 2077 will go live on October 22, timed to the launch of the Netflix series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. The patch arrives for PC, PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X|S, with a Switch 2 version promised “shortly,” according to TechPowerUp.

What we know

The update, dubbed “2.5,” is directly tied to the anime’s second season, which debuted on Netflix on October 20. CD Projekt Red teased “cyberware customization, a new dual-wielding playstyle, and more” in a social‑media post (GameSpot). A first look will be streamed during a REDstreams broadcast on October 21 at 5 PM CEST, with official patch notes released the same day (TechPowerUp). The free patch adds a suite of items inspired by the series, including new outfits, weapons and cybernetic enhancements that reflect the aesthetic of Edgerunners 2.

While the core platforms receive the update on launch day, the Switch 2 version will follow “shortly,” though no exact date has been set (TechPowerUp). This mirrors the pattern seen with previous post‑launch content, where CDPR rolls out platform‑specific timing.

Why it matters for gamers

For long‑time fans, the dual‑wielding mechanic promises a fresh combat dynamic that could reshape how players approach Night City’s firefights. The ability to mix and match cyberware also deepens character building, giving veterans new avenues to experiment with builds that were previously unavailable.

New content tied to a popular anime boosts cross‑media synergy, potentially drawing Netflix viewers into the game and vice‑versa. The timing is also notable because it lands just before Cyberpunk 2077’s sixth anniversary, adding a celebratory feel to the update.
