What happened?
CD Projekt Red released the Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Update 2.5 for the Nintendo Switch 2 on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. Known as the Edgerunners 2 Update, the patch arrives five days after the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S versions and brings content inspired by the second season of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime, which premiered on Netflix on October 20.
The update is free for all game owners and includes a new side quest called Clampdown set before the anime events, dual wielding of pistols and revolvers, a new radio station with the series soundtrack, cross-platform mod support via mod.io, and various quality-of-life improvements.
Why does this matter?
The Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Update 2.5 confirms CD Projekt Red’s commitment to keeping the game relevant years after its original launch. With the Switch 2 established as a high-performance platform, the arrival of the complete update — including mods — shows that the Nintendo version keeps pace with other platforms.
The timing with the Edgerunners 2 anime also strengthens the synergy between the game and the Netflix series, attracting both longtime fans and new players who discovered Night City through the anime. This is especially relevant for the Geekiki audience that follows both games and anime.
What changes in practice?
- New Clampdown quest: Prequel side quest to the anime, unlocked after completing The Heist and two gigs for Wakako.
- Dual Wield: Ability to equip two pistols or revolvers at once, with new perks in the Cool skill tree.
- Cross-platform mods: Support via mod.io lets players download and install selected mods directly from the in-game menu, including on Switch 2.
- Customization: New clothing sets, hairstyles, arm cyberware styles, and Photo Mode poses.
- New radio: Station featuring music from both seasons of Edgerunners.
The update also fixes Switch 2-specific bugs, such as false insufficient storage warnings when saving. Additionally, there are technical and performance improvements that make the experience smoother on Nintendo’s hybrid console.
As the Switch 2 continues to receive high-caliber ports, Cyberpunk 2077 solidifies its position as one of the most complete titles on the platform, and the Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Update 2.5 is further proof of that.
