Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 Update Released with New Content, Mod Support, and Gameplay Enhancements

Cyberpunk 2077 gets major 2.5 update

The major 2.5 update for Cyberpunk 2077 has been released, coinciding with the launch of Edgerunners 2 on Netflix. This update introduces a range of new content, features, and gameplay improvements, aligning the game more closely with the new season of the animated series.

New content linked to Edgerunners 2

The update adds side quests related to Edgerunners 2, including a prequel side quest that requires players to complete a heist and two contracts with Wakako. It also includes five pieces of equipment linked to Kingsley, a main character in Edgerunners 2.

New radio station and guided tour

A new radio station, HKGN 102.0 FM, plays the soundtrack from the two seasons of Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Additionally, a new quest allows players to take a digital guided tour of Night City, narrated by the city's founder, and 12 new minor Tarot cards are available to collect.

Customization options for player character V

The update introduces new equipment and features for customizing the player's character, V. This includes five new outfits, new hairstyles for both character variants, and cosmetics for customizing the appearance of V's arm and hand implants.

New implants and skills for V

New implants have been added for gorilla arms, Mantis blades, grenade launchers, and mono-cables. A new skill allows players to handle a pistol in each hand, similar to Jackie in the prologue of Cyberpunk 2077.

Mod support and platform enhancements

The 2.5 update also adds mod support across all platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2, through mod.io. This follows the approach used with the Remaster of The Witcher 3.

Improved gameplay comfort and settings

Gameplay comfort and settings have been enhanced with the addition of new frames, filters, and poses in the photo mode. Saves in the "Load a Game" menu are now grouped by games. Filters have been added to apartment and vehicle inventories, and a FOV adjustment slider is now available on consoles.

Graphics and performance improvements

AMD FSR options have been updated, with FSR 3 scaling removed and FSR 2.1, FSR 4, and FSR 3.1 available. Support for DLSS 4.5 has been added, along with performance optimizations for ray tracing and PlayStation®5 Pro. HDR rendering has been improved for more accurate color, brightness, and contrast reproduction on compatible screens. The update also includes bug fixes.
