CD PROJEKT RED confirmed a REDstreams preview on October 21 and published patch notes that detail a new Edgerunners-themed side quest, a fresh clothing line, a dedicated radio station, and a new Double Trouble perk that enables dual-wielding pistols and revolvers from the Power category. The update also introduces Glamdocs for arm cyberware customization, new photo mode frames and poses, Twitch drops for Quadra skins, and an FOV slider on consoles. Cross-platform mod support via mod.io is listed for major platforms, and Nintendo Switch 2 is due to receive the update shortly after the initial release window. NintendoReporters coverage focuses on what Switch 2 owners need to know and how the changes affect players across platforms. --- ## [](#what-update-2-5-adds-to-cyberpunk-2077)What Update 2.5 Adds to Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5, billed as the Edgerunners 2 Update, stitches together a handful of gameplay, cosmetic and technical changes that mix fanservice with practical fixes. On the gameplay side you get a whole new playstyle option – dual-wielding pistols and some revolvers – plus a series of perks that support that approach. There are fresh side quests and a gig tied into the Edgerunners 2 story world, new clothing sets and vehicle skins, and quality-of-life improvements such as grouped saves and item filters. Technically the patch adds modern upscaling options, frame generation support and several platform-specific fixes. Overall, it’s the kind of update that keeps Night City feeling alive by adding both tangible mechanical options and a stack of small, satisfying touches that make replaying or continuing existing runs feel worthwhile. ### [](#edgerunners-2-tie-ins-new-quests-radio-station-and-gear)Edgerunners 2 Tie-Ins: New Quests, Radio Station and Gear The update directly references the new anime by adding a Clampdown side quest that slots in before Edgerunners 2 events, plus a five-piece King gear set you can earn by playing through that quest. There’s also a new radio station, HKGN 102.0 FM, which features soundtrack selections from the series so your drives through Night City have that anime energy. New clothing lines are available from vendors across the map, and at least one outfit hits shelves slightly later than the initial wave. These additions are clearly meant to bridge the anime and the game, giving players visual and narrative hooks to the Edgerunners 2 cast while leaving room for exploration and discovery in the game itself. ### [](#gameplay-changes-dual-wielding-and-new-playstyles)Gameplay Changes: Dual-Wielding and New Playstyles One of the headline additions is the Double Trouble perk in the Cool tree, which unlocks dual-wielding for Pistols and certain Revolvers from the Power category. That comes with auxiliary perks to tune the playstyle, and the update also adds new Photo Mode poses to show off the dual-wield look. This is the sort of change that alters combat pacing and encourages builds you might not have tried before, especially if you lean into high-crit or agility-focused builds. Expect weapon balance tweaks to follow in hotfixes as players test combinations, but for now the new perk opens up immediate creative options for how you approach combat in Night City. #### [](#customization-glamdocs-hairstyles-and-quadra-skins)Customization: Glamdocs, Hairstyles and Quadra Skins Customization gets attention in this patch, with Glamdocs added as shops where you can customize arm cyberware visuals and colors for Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire and Projectile Launch System. Previously NPC-only hairstyles have been made available for V, with some locked to feminine or masculine body types. There are five new outfit sets across different vendors and four TWINTONE Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech skins distributed via Twitch Drops. Photo Mode also gains trading-card-style frames and new poses so you can make dramatic dual-wield screenshots. If you’re someone who loves tweaking looks as much as stats, this update stacks several fresh options into Night City’s wardrobe and vehicle garage. #### [](#mod-support-and-console-fov-platform-details)Mod Support and Console FOV: Platform Details The patch introduces cross-platform mod support powered by mod.io, enabled on PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, letting players browse and install a selection of creator mods from within the game menu. On consoles the update also adds an FOV slider, which is a huge quality-of-life win for players who felt restricted by the previous fixed FOV. Achievements and trophies are disabled on modded saves on consoles, and modded saves get marked in the Load Game menu. For Nintendo Switch 2 owners the official notes say the update will arrive shortly after the main roll-out, and the patch includes several Switch 2-specific fixes such as resolving a save error that could report insufficient space. ## [](#release-schedule-and-platform-notes)Release Schedule and Platform Notes CD PROJEKT RED announced the REDstreams preview for October 21, with the bulk of the 2.5 update scheduled to hit PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 22. The official patch notes were published on October 21 and list Nintendo Switch 2 as receiving the update in the days after. That means Switch 2 owners should expect the patch very soon after the 22nd, but timing can vary by region and eShop roll-out. If you want the official Switch 2 details from NintendoReporters, check our dedicated Switch 2 coverage at [Nintendo Switch 2](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/en/nintendo-switch-2/). The staggered rollout is typical for platform parity updates where storefront approval and platform testing can add a short delay for console releases. ### [](#how-the-leak-surfaced-and-what-creators-shared)How the Leak Surfaced and What Creators Shared Before the REDstreams preview many details were shared early by creators who were given advance looks, with notable leaks listing the Double Trouble perk, the Clampdown gig and a guided NC Tour sidequest among the additions. Those early outlines appeared across social clips and creator posts; trustworthy outlets then matched those claims against CD PROJEKT RED’s official notes. Leak-driven previews can be messy, but in this case they mostly aligned with the published patch notes. The takeaway is simple: creators saw an early build and highlighted the user-facing changes, and the studio later confirmed most of those points in the official update documentation and the REDstreams video. ##### [](#technical-improvements-and-performance-upgrades)Technical Improvements and Performance Upgrades Under the hood Update 2.5 brings modern upscaling and frame generation options – including support for DLSS 4.5 and several FSR iterations – plus performance optimizations aimed at Ray Tracing and PS5 Pro-specific improvements. There’s improved HDR rendering, a Motion Comfort setting for certain 3D monitors, MetalFX Frame Interpolation support and toggles for FSR Anti-Lag 2. These technical steps are aimed at smoothing performance across a wide hardware range, and they matter most for players chasing a stable frame rate or sharper visuals. Expect platform-specific tweaks to continue appearing in follow-up hotfixes, as studio telemetry and player feedback help iron out edge cases. ##### [](#conclusion)Conclusion Update 2.5 ties Edgerunners 2 into Cyberpunk 2077 with a mix of story beats, cosmetics and practical systems changes. Whether you’re chasing a fresh build with dual-wield pistols, hunting new wardrobe pieces, or testing mods on console, this patch offers a little something for most players. NintendoReporters will keep an eye on the Switch 2 rollout and report any timing or functionality differences as they appear, so Switch 2 owners should watch for the follow-up notes and any early hotfixes that address platform-specific issues. ##### [](#faqs)FAQs - **When does Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5 release?** - Officially the update launches on October 22 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with Nintendo Switch 2 receiving the patch in the days after, per CD PROJEKT RED. - **Does Update 2.5 add dual-wielding?** - Yes.
