CD Projekt Red Releases Cyberpunk 2077 Update on October 22

CD Projekt Red will release Update 2.5 for Cyberpunk 2077 on October 22, 2026, bringing anime-inspired content and additional features to the role-playing game as the publisher celebrates the arrival of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 on Netflix. The update will launch on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X, with the Nintendo Switch 2 version scheduled to receive it shortly afterward.

The publisher announced the update under the name Edgerunners 2 Update, also known as Update 2.5. According to CD Projekt Red's news release, the patch will include content inspired by the anime alongside a range of additional items and features.

CD Projekt Red has not yet disclosed a complete list of additions. The company scheduled a livestream for Wednesday at 11 a.m. EDT to explain the update's contents, with the broadcast available on Twitch, YouTube, and Steam.

The release connects the game's latest development with the arrival of the second season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the animated series set in the same futuristic universe. Both seasons are connected to Cyberpunk 2077, which takes place in Night City.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 follows a new group of characters navigating a city marked by gang violence and extensive body modification. The first season centered on David Martinez and his rise and fall as excessive cybernetic implants contributed to his fate.

According to CD Projekt Red's news release, the second season follows a veteran edgerunner, a young cinephile, a chrome-obsessed delinquent, and a Snake Nation netrunner. The publisher describes their interconnected stories as a narrative about vengeance and redemption.

The new season therefore shifts attention to a different cast while retaining Night City as its setting. The anime's release also provides the backdrop for the game's upcoming update, although CD Projekt Red has not specified which characters, locations, or other elements will appear in the new content.

Polygon journalist Ryan Epps viewed the first episode during Anime Expo over the summer and praised its visual presentation and sound design.

"Packed with incredible colors, gorgeous framing, and punchy sound design, Edgerunners 2 is a fresh take on a beloved world," Epps wrote.

CD Projekt Red has confirmed October 22 as the release date for the PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X versions of Update 2.5, while the Nintendo Switch 2 release remains scheduled for a later date described by the publisher as shortly afterward.
