Leaked: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.5 Allegedly Ties Into Edgerunners Season 2

We’re following what could be a major update for Cyberpunk 2077. Per Push Square, a preview of the incoming patch was briefly published early by a content creator and then pulled — but the highlights were reportedly captured before that video went private. If true, the headline additions read like an update designed to dovetail with the show: think anime music, new quests and fresh options for cyberware and cosmetics.

What Was Reported

According to Push Square, the leaked coverage lists a long set of changes and additions allegedly arriving in the next update for Cyberpunk 2077. Take this with a pinch of salt — these items were summarised from an early video that was made private — but the reported highlights include:

  • Two New Side Quests: a quest called "Clampdown", which is specifically set before Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2, and another named "Welcome to Paradise", described as a mysterious tour of Night City.
  • New Perk: a Cool tree perk called "Double Trouble" that allegedly enables dual wielding of power pistols or revolvers, with several secondary perks branching from it.
  • Edgerunners Music: a new radio station that exclusively features tracks from the Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime (both Season 1 and Season 2).
  • Cyberware Customisation: five new "Glamdocs" where players can change the look of arm and hand cyberware; these docs are said to be new characters with fresh voice lines and animations.
  • Cosmetics & Hair: five new clothing sets sold across districts, plus new NPC hairstyles that players can use for V, some of which are limited by male/female body type.
  • Photo Mode & UI: additional photo mode options including trading-card-style frames, plus organisational features like save file folders by playthrough and item filters for V’s stash.
  • Console Improvements: mod support on consoles via mod.io (noted to work like The Witcher 3 Remastered), with a warning that using mods will disable Trophies on that save; an FOV slider on consoles; and fixes to HDR settings on PS5.
  • Other: a range of various bug fixes.

The Source & Credibility

Push Square reports that the early reveal came from a content creator who was briefed ahead of the planned livestream and accidentally published their coverage. The YouTube video was later set to private, and Push Square says it watched the video before it was pulled and summarised the headline additions.

CD Projekt Red is scheduled to present details in a REDstream, and Push Square notes the developer's own blog teased "cyberware customization, a new dual-wielding playstyle, and more". You can reportedly tune in to the REDstream on YouTube and Twitch at the regional times listed by Push Square for North America, the UK/Ireland, Europe and Asia/Oceania. Because this summary is based on an early, now-privated video, treat the list as unconfirmed until the developer airs the official REDstream.

What It Could Mean

If these reports are accurate, this update appears intentionally tied to the anime: an Edgerunners-only radio station and a quest explicitly set before Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2 suggest cross-media narrative and cosmetic synergies. The purported addition of a dual-wielding perk and new cyberware visual options could materially change combat and character customisation for players who enjoy mixing builds.

Console mod support via mod.io, if true, would be one of the more consequential shifts — albeit with the trade-off that mods would disable Trophies on that save. The mix of QoL items (save folders, stash filters, FOV slider) alongside cosmetic and content additions suggests an update aimed at both returning players and longtime fans who want new ways to show off in Night City.

For readers who follow other ongoing patch stories, this continued update cadence bears similarity to large-scale patches we've watched elsewhere, such as Dawnwalker. And the console-side nature of the changes puts them in the same general conversation as recent platform-focused fixes like Switch 2 compatibility work — though again, those are comparative notes, not confirmations.

Why This Matters

Allegedly, this update does more than drop a handful of bug fixes — it appears designed to deepen the relationship between Cyberpunk 2077 and the Edgerunners anime, while also adding mechanical options that could reshape how V is built and presented. If CD Projekt Red confirms these items during the REDstream, players could see immediate impacts on replay value, modding opportunities for console users and the ability to personalise cyberware looks in ways that were previously unavailable.

We’ll be watching the REDstream closely and will update our coverage when CD Projekt Red shares the official changelist. Until then, consider these claims promising but unverified, and keep an eye on the livestream if you want the official word.
