Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 Update Detailed, CD Projekt Releases Official Patch Notes

Every CD Projekt Red Game In Development

Overall, 2.5 is a welcome surprise for Cyberpunk 2077, after CD Projekt had indicated it had no plans for further DLC for the hugely successful game. Of course, The Witcher 3 is getting a new expansion 12 years after launch, so perhaps CD Projekt will return later on with a new expansion for Cyberpunk 2077. For now, though, 2.5 is sure to spark a return to Night City for lapsed players, and give fans of Edgerunners a push to jump in if they haven’t already.

Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 update patch notes:

Edgerunners Content

• Added a new side quest, Clampdown, set before the events of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. To unlock it, complete The Heist and two gigs for Wakako, then wait for a message from her.
• Added a new 5-piece gear set based on the character King, which can be obtained during the Clampdown side quest.
• Added a new radio station, HKGN 102.0 FM, featuring a selection of tracks from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners series.

Show Off

• Maxiwear: available in Heywood, Arroyo, Little China

• The NUS Infiltrator clothing set can be now purchased from clothing vendors in Kabuki and Japantown.
• 4 new TWINTONE skins for Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech are now available via Twitch Drops.

• Show off your chrome! You can now customize your hand cyberware. Equip your Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire or Projectile Launch System, and visit one of 5 Glamdocs (marked with a spray paint icon on the map) to give your implants a fresh, new look. Each Glamdoc is located in a unique shop, along with their own intro scene with voiceover and animations, and offers a unique catalog of cyberware skins with customizable colors.
• Sometimes one gun just isn’t enough. The new Double Trouble perk in the Cool tree (along with four auxiliary perks) introduces an entirely new playstyle, allowing you to dual-wield Pistols and Revolvers from the Power category.
• Added frames from the Cyberpunk Trading Card Game to Photo Mode, allowing you to make your preem shots look like custom cards.
• Added new poses in Photo Mode to show off your dual-wielding prowess.

Mod the World

• Added Cross-Platform Mod Support, powered by mod.io, a first step into cross-platform modding that allows you to easily browse and install a selection of player-created mods directly from the in-game menu. More mods will become available over time. The feature is available on PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S.

Upgrading the World

• Welcome to Paradise! Added a new side quest that takes you on a journey to uncover a mystery and explore Night City on a guided tour narrated by Richard Night. It unlocks after completing The Heist and reaching level 15 Street Cred.
• Added 12 new Minor Arcana Tarot Cards to discover across Night City. The Tarot menu now has separate sections for Major and Minor Arcana. The new tarot cards are part of a new side quest, an extension of Fool on the Hill, which activates after scanning any of the new cards. Collect them all to get a special reward.

Quality of Life

• Saves in the “Load Game” menu are now grouped by separate playthroughs.
