CD Projekt Red announced a free Cyberpunk 2077 patch on October 20, the same day all ten episodes of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 landed on Netflix. The patch is the Edgerunners 2 Update, also called Update 2.5. It is dated October 22 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The Nintendo Switch 2 build “will follow shortly.” There is no Switch 2 calendar day in the announcement.

What CDPR has actually named

The press note says the update adds “a range of new items and features,” including content inspired by the new anime. The studio’s own REDstreams post is more specific about two systems: cyberware customization and a new dual-wielding playstyle. That is the confirmed list. CDPR has not published weapon restrictions, quest names, map changes, or a download size.

  • Free update. October 22 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
  • Nintendo Switch 2: follow shortly. No date.
  • Named features so far: cyberware customization and dual-wielding, plus unspecified anime-inspired items.

REDstreams and patch notes: October 21

A special REDstreams episode was scheduled Wednesday, October 21, at 5 PM CEST — 11:00 a.m. Eastern. CDPR listed Twitch, YouTube, and Steam as the feeds. Official patch notes were scheduled for publication the same day. This piece is written from the October 20 announcement, not from creator leak roundups that circulated ahead of that stream.

The anime tie-in

Edgerunners 2 is a standalone Netflix series from CD Projekt Red and Trigger. The press note dates the premiere to October 20, 2026, with all ten episodes available that day. The game update is timed to that drop. It is a free live-game patch, not a paid expansion, and the studio has not said whether any of the new items require Phantom Liberty.
