What Is Included in Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5

According to reports from Eurogamer and VGC, a centerpiece of Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5 is a new side quest titled "Clampdown". Set prior to the events of the Netflix anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, the quest features characters Emily, Meshuga, and Miguel, and rewards players with a five-piece gear set based on King. Natalia Pych, Publishing Producer at CD Projekt Red, described the mission's premise:

"It will be the last job of the King's team"

Alongside the quest, the update adds a new in-game radio station, HKGN 102.0 FM, which broadcasts 16 tracks selected from both the first and second seasons of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Players exploring Night City can also take on a second new side quest called "Welcome to Paradise!", which introduces Night City Tours narrated by city founder Richard Night alongside a mystery to solve. Furthermore, 12 new Minor Arcana Tarot Cards have been placed across Night City as an extension of the existing "Fool on the Hill" quest.

As detailed by Rock Paper Shotgun, combat expands with a new "Double Trouble" perk located in the Cool skill tree, supported by four auxiliary perks, allowing players to dual-wield Power-category pistols and revolvers. Players can also visually customize their hand cyberware—including Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire, and the Projectile Launch System—across 40 alternative looks and custom colors at five new Glamdoc shops situated around Night City.

Additional cosmetic additions include five new vendor outfit sets, the NUS Infiltrator clothing set available in Kabuki and Japantown, previously NPC-exclusive hairstyles for V, Photo Mode frames drawn from the Cyberpunk Trading Card Game, and dual-wielding Photo Mode poses. Players can also acquire four TWINTONE skins for the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech through Twitch Drops.

Development Background and Sales Milestones

According to VGC, Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 40 million copies worldwide since its original release in December 2020, while its Phantom Liberty expansion has reached 15 million copies sold. CD Projekt Red developed Update 2.5 in partnership with co-developer Virtuos to coincide with the release of the second season of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime series on Netflix.

Eurogamer notes that both the cross-platform mod support via mod.io and the newly added Xbox Play Anywhere functionality follow similar implementations that CD Projekt Red recently introduced to The Witcher 3: Remastered.

Console Mod Support and What It Means for Players

A major feature of Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5 is the introduction of Cross-Platform Mod Support powered by mod.io. This system allows players across PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S to browse and install curated player-created mods directly from an in-game menu. Console players should note that modded save files are marked with a dedicated icon in the Load Game menu, and both achievements and trophies are disabled when playing from a modded save on consoles.

To access the new narrative content, players must meet specific in-game requirements. Unlocking the "Clampdown" side quest requires completing "The Heist" as well as two gigs for Wakako. Starting the "Welcome to Paradise!" quest requires completing "The Heist" and reaching level 15 Street Cred.

Quality-of-life and technical improvements in Update 2.5 include a Field of View (FOV) slider on consoles, save files grouped by playthrough, and item filters for the player stash. Hardware-specific upgrades bring DLSS 4.5 with up to 6X Multi Frame Generation, MetalFX Frame Interpolation and Denoising on Mac, PlayStation 5 Pro and Ray Tracing optimizations, and glasses-free 3D support on compatible Samsung Odyssey 3D monitors. Within the AMD FSR settings, FSR 3 upscaling has been removed, while FSR 2.1, FSR 4, and FSR 3.1 Frame Generation remain available alongside a new toggle for FSR Anti-Lag 2.
