Cyberpunk 2077 is getting another major free update. CD Projekt Red has announced that the Edgerunners 2 Update, numbered 2.5, is coming on October 22, 2026, at no cost for players on every platform, including Steam.
The announcement arrived on the game’s official news site and was also posted to the Cyberpunk 2077 Steam community announcements feed, where it confirmed that the free update lands on October 22 for Steam players of app 1091500. You can read the full official announcement in the REDstreams news post on Cyberpunk.net.
Before the update itself goes live, CD Projekt Red is putting it in the spotlight. A REDstreams broadcast airs Wednesday, October 21 at 5 PM CEST on Twitch, YouTube and Steam, giving players a closer look at Edgerunners 2 Update (2.5) and the new features it brings to Night City. The stream should serve as the definitive rundown of what patch 2.5 contains ahead of its October 22 release.
Among the features teased for Update 2.5 are cyberware customization and a new dual-wielding playstyle. Cyberware customization suggests deeper control over V’s implants and build identity, while dual wielding opens up fresh combat options for players who want to run two weapons at once through Night City’s firefights.
The timing ties Cyberpunk 2077’s ongoing support to the Edgerunners side of the franchise. The update name points squarely at the anime universe, and the REDstreams format has historically been how the studio walks through patches with the community in real time.
For now, the checklist is simple: watch the REDstreams broadcast on October 21 at 5 PM CEST on Twitch, YouTube or Steam for the full reveal, then grab the free Edgerunners 2 Update (2.5) when it releases on October 22. If you own the game on Steam, the update will land directly on your library as Cyberpunk 2077 continues its post-launch support run.
