Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5: Edgerunners 2 Content, Dual-Wielding and Console Mods Explained

What CD Projekt Red Has Confirmed

CD Projekt Red announced on October 20, 2026 that Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.5, called the Edgerunners 2 Update, will release on October 22, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as a free download, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version to follow. The studio said the free update introduces a range of new items and features, including content inspired by the anime.

The studio publicly highlighted three elements ahead of launch: cyberware customization enhancements, a new dual-wielding playstyle, and unspecified 'more' to be detailed later. Full patch notes were set to be published alongside a special REDstreams broadcast on October 21 at 5 PM CEST, shown on Twitch, YouTube and Steam.

Why the Timing: Edgerunners 2 on Netflix

The update is timed to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, a ten-episode anime that premiered in full on Netflix on October 20, 2026. The series was produced by CD Projekt Red together with animation studio Trigger, directed by Kai Ikarashi with Kanno Ichigo as lead character designer, and written by Bartosz Sztybor, a Hugo Award winner. CD Projekt Red describes the story as centered on 'vengeance and redemption' in Night City.

New Gameplay Mechanics: Dual-Wielding and Cyberware

CD Projekt Red's own announcements confirm two gameplay additions: a reworked cyberware customization system and a new dual-wielding option for combat. Technology outlet WCCFTech, citing details that leaked ahead of the official reveal, reported that the dual-wielding mechanic comes through a new perk named 'Double Trouble' in the Cool attribute tree, letting the player character V fire two pistols at once. The same report described additional cosmetic arm cyberware options referred to as 'Glamdocs' and new Edgerunners 2-themed clothing.

Console Mod Support: What's Reported So Far

CD Projekt Red's own statements do not mention mod support on consoles. According to the WCCFTech report based on leaked build information, Update 2.5 integrates mod.io on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S — not on Nintendo Switch 2 — bringing official mod functionality to consoles for the first time. The same leak also pointed to a new field-of-view (FOV) slider for console players, a setting the report said had been requested by players who found the default view uncomfortable, particularly while driving in first-person.

• Release: October 22, 2026, free, on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S; Nintendo Switch 2 to follow
• Officially confirmed: cyberware customization rework and a new dual-wielding playstyle
• Reported via leak (WCCFTech): 'Double Trouble' perk for dual-wielded pistols, mod.io support on PS5/Xbox, console FOV slider
• Tied to the October 20, 2026 Netflix premiere of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 (CD Projekt Red x Trigger)

What Remains Unconfirmed

As of CD Projekt Red's October 20 statement, the studio had not published full patch notes and said further details would arrive with the October 21 REDstreams broadcast. Specific perk names, the extent of console mod support, and additional cosmetic items circulating in pre-launch reports came from leaked information reported by outlets such as WCCFTech rather than from CD Projekt Red directly, and could change before or shortly after the October 22 release.
