Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.5 is out now, CD Projekt Red confirmed on Oct. 22. The Edgerunners 2 update adds content and customization, but returning players should check their platform and save restrictions first.
The practical question is what your installation can use today. A broad release announcement does not mean every storefront receives the same version at the same time.
Where Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.5 is available
The release notice lists PC, Mac, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The detailed official notes distinguish the initial Mac storefronts from the Mac App Store version.
| Platform/storefront | Status in checked official notices |
|---|---|
| PC | Released Oct. 22 |
| Mac: Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store | Initial Oct. 22 release |
| Mac App Store | Follows initial release; confirm newer notice |
| PS5 / PS5 Pro | Released Oct. 22 |
| Xbox Series X|S | Released Oct. 22 |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | Coming later; confirm newer notice |
Status checked Oct. 23, 2026. The notes identify Switch 2 and Mac App Store delivery as following the initial release. A later rollout notice should take precedence if it appears.
Check your save before trying console mods
The official notes describe mod.io support for a selection of player-created mods. This does not establish that every PC mod is available on consoles.
More consequentially, achievements and trophies cannot be earned while playing on console from a modded save. Do not assume removing a mod restores eligibility; the notes do not establish that.
Before experimenting, decide which matters more for that playthrough: customization or achievement progress. Check the restrictions before loading a save you intend to use for completion goals.
What to look at when you return
The update adds the Double Trouble perk for dual-wielding Power pistols and revolvers, plus a console field-of-view slider. The new Clampdown quest requires completing The Heist and two Wakako gigs before waiting for a message.
These changes serve different interests. A player revisiting combat may care about a new build, while someone returning for story content should check quest prerequisites.
Likewise, a view setting is something to adjust to preference, not evidence of a performance gain. TechPipino has not benchmarked the update or tested mod stability.
Before starting a new playthrough
Check the installed version and storefront first. Then identify the feature you want and any conditions attached to it. This avoids starting a session around an option your version has not received.
The same distinction matters for hardware: a newly documented setting does not establish how well it runs on your setup. Avoid treating a patch announcement as a substitute for measurements.

Why it matters
For an existing owner, the update offers several reasons to revisit the game. The sensible starting point is the feature you want, the version you can install and the restrictions you are willing to accept.
