Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5 Adds Dual-Wielding, New Quests, and Cross-Platform Mod Support

CD Projekt Red has surprised players with the release of the 2.5 update for Cyberpunk 2077, bringing a wealth of new content, technical upgrades, and gameplay changes to Night City. As reported by IGN, this update includes tie-ins for the Netflix anime *Edgerunners 2*, alongside significant additions like the ability to dual-wield pistols and revolvers.

New Gameplay and Edgerunners Content

Perhaps the most requested feature arriving in 2.5 is the new “Double Trouble” perk found in the Cool skill tree, which allows players to dual-wield power-category pistols and revolvers for the first time. The update also introduces fresh side quests, including “Clampdown,” which is set before the events of *Edgerunners 2* and rewards players with a five-piece gear set inspired by the character King. Another new quest, “Welcome to Paradise!,” features a narrative-heavy guided tour of Night City voiced by the city’s founder, Richard Night.

Customization fans can now visit new “Glamdoc” locations across the map to change the visual appearance of their cyberware implants, including Mantis Blades and Gorilla Arms. Additionally, the update adds a new radio station, HKGN 102.0 FM, which features tracks from the *Edgerunners* series.

Technical Upgrades and Quality of Life

Under the hood, update 2.5 brings cross-platform mod support powered by mod.io for PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S. Console players gain a long-awaited Field of View (FOV) slider, while PC users benefit from support for DLSS 4.5, including up to 6X Multi Frame Generation. The update also groups save files by playthrough and adds item filtering for vehicle and apartment stashes to streamline inventory management.

Why it matters

For the player base, this update marks a significant return of support for a game previously considered feature-complete. The inclusion of dual-wielding and expanded mod support offers fresh reasons for veterans to jump back into Night City.

With cross-platform modding now integrated into the game menu, players can access a curated selection of player-created content more easily across both consoles and PC. These changes, paired with the inclusion of *Edgerunners 2* thematic content, provide substantial value for fans of the franchise, regardless of whether they are new to the city or returning after a hiatus.
