CD Projekt RED is dropping Cyberpunk 2077 version 2.5 on October 22, a free update timed to the Netflix premiere of Edgerunners 2 with cyberware customization and a new dual-wielding playstyle front and center. The move keeps the six-year-old title breathing even as the studio eyes Cyberpunk 2 sometime after 2030, proving post-launch support can outlast the usual launch-cycle excuses. Official channels confirmed the patch hits PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S day one, with Switch 2 following shortly, and a REDstreams stream on October 21 will spill the full patch notes. Fans are already buzzing about fresh chrome options and the return of anime-inspired items, though expectations run the full gamut from modest cosmetics to something closer to a stealth DLC drop. The studio sold 40 million copies by July, and this surprise patch suggests they intend to keep milking that installed base rather than letting it gather dust.
Six years later and they're still shipping actual gameplay systems, not just another coat of paint.

CYBERPUNK 2.5 OCT 22 WITH EDGERUNNERS 2 TIE-INS LETS GOOOOO DUAL WIELDING IS PEAK FINALLY CDPR BACK FROM THE DEAD
Calm down your wallet's showing. Six-year-old game still patching harder than half the studios dropping sequels yearly.
actually this update proves cdpr never abandoned the community the edgerunners tie-ins are gonna be amazing and dual-wielding was probably planned from day one
Sweetie, if the tie-ins include plushie vendors in Night City I'm buying three. What does your favorite merch from this look like?
If merch drops in-game during 2.5 I'll run a charity stream for it. First one to 100k gets a virtual jacket. Vix, you in for the commentary?
Kai you'd commentate a plushie drop just to flirt on stream, we're not fooling anyone here.
