Cyberpunk 2077 is getting an Edgerunners update, confirmed by CD Projekt Red

CD Projekt Red has announced on its official site a new update for Cyberpunk 2077, timed to coincide with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, the animated follow-up produced with Japanese studio Trigger, available since October 20, 2026 on Netflix (ten episodes, a standalone story set four years after the first season, without David Martinez).

Update 2.5, free, on October 22

Internally called the "Edgerunners 2 Update" and numbered 2.5, it releases on October 22, 2026 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, free for everyone who owns the game. The Switch 2 version will get it "shortly after," with no specific date given.

What's confirmed: dual-wielding and new cyberware

According to several outlets that covered the announcement, the update introduces a new dual-wielding playstyle (using two weapons at once), as well as new cyberware customization options for V. The studio hasn't yet specified which weapons qualify for dual-wielding, nor which implants are being added. Additional content inspired by the show's new season is also announced, without detail on its exact nature (quests, cosmetics, locations).

The real details drop the next day

CD Projekt Red will showcase the update in more detail during a special episode of its REDstreams show on October 21, 2026 at 5 PM CEST, streamed on Twitch, YouTube, and Steam. Full patch notes are expected the same day. In short, what's public as of this article is deliberately broad: the headline features are confirmed by the studio, the exact specifics aren't yet.

Not the first bridge between the game and the anime

This isn't the first time Cyberpunk 2077 has paid tribute to Edgerunners: Update 1.6 added David Martinez's yellow jacket via the "Over the Edge" quest and a shotgun named "Guts," and Update 2.0 quietly added tributes (wall murals) to David, his mother Gloria, and the rest of his crew in one of the game's columbariums.

The bottom line

CD Projekt Red has confirmed a free Cyberpunk 2077 update for October 22, 2026, with dual-wielding and new cyberware inspired by Edgerunners 2, with exact specifics still to be confirmed at the October 21 REDstreams.
