Major Update 2.5 Arrives for Cyberpunk 2077
CD Projekt Red has announced a sweeping new update for Cyberpunk 2077 that targets both new and returning players with significant feature additions. The upcoming 2.5 patch delivers cross-platform modding capabilities, fresh narrative content, and technical upgrades across multiple gaming platforms.

The release schedule for the patch varies depending on the platform. The update launches on October 22nd across PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X / S systems. Meanwhile, availability for the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Mac App Store is scheduled for the days immediately following the initial rollout, <a href="https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/news/52120/check-out-whats-coming-to-night-city-in-the-edgerunners-2-update-for-cyberpunk-2077">according to CD Projekt Red’s patch notes</a>.
Cross-Platform Mod Support and Console Integration
A major highlight of the 2.5 update is the introduction of cross-platform mod support powered by mod.io. This feature marks a crucial step forward for console modding, allowing users to browse and install a curated selection of player-created mods directly from the in-game menu.
The modding features extend across PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. While the initial launch selection of mods is limited, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that additional player-created modifications will become available over time. This long-term support helps extend the lifecycle of the sci-fi role-playing title, continuing to build engagement even without the previously anticipated <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/4/20849235/cyberpunk-2077-multiplayer-launch">multiplayer mode</a> that was dropped following the game's initial launch phase.
Edgerunners-Inspired Content and New Gameplay Features
Coinciding with the new season of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime on Netflix, the patch introduces specific themed content to Night City. Players can experience a brand new side quest, equip a character gear set based on the character Weak Kingsley, and tune into a new radio station featuring music directly from the anime series.
For players looking for broader gameplay enhancements, the update adds a Double Trouble perk option enabling the dual-wielding of pistols and revolvers. Additional additions include a Richard Night-guided tour side quest, grouped saves sorted neatly by individual playthroughs, and an FOV slider designed specifically for console players wishing to adjust their field of view.
Technical Upgrades and Performance Enhancements
Under the hood, the 2.5 update implements several technical improvements aimed at modern hardware configurations. Support for DLSS 4.5 has been integrated alongside glasses-free 3D effects, giving compatible hardware configurations visual enhancements.
These systematic adjustments accompany the broader rollout of the software package, ensuring that players returning to the game or experiencing it on newer platforms such as the PlayStation 5 Pro and Nintendo Switch 2 receive an optimized and modernized technical foundation.
