Cyberpunk 2077’s free Edgerunners 2 Update (Update 2.5) released on October 22, 2026 for PC (Steam/GOG/Epic), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and supported Mac storefronts. CD PROJEKT RED’s official page lists Clampdown (an Edgerunners 2–tied side quest), dual wielding, Glamdocs cyberware styles, a new HKGN radio station, King-inspired gear, and Mod.io integration. It is free for anyone who owns the base game — Phantom Liberty is not required. Nintendo Switch 2 and the Mac App Store build follow in the days after the main launch.
