Cyberpunk 2077's Edgerunners 2 Update is here. Released on October 22, 2026, the free patch connects the game to the new anime through a quest and gear, while adding new ways to fight and customise V.
A new connection between the anime and the game
Clampdown takes place before Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. CD PROJEKT RED's developer feature on Xbox Wire describes a Wakako gig that brings V into contact with Weak Kingsley and his crew at Night City Prison.
The supplied unbranded illustration places the anime and game characters in one street scene. Heavy outlines meet textured surfaces, with turquoise accents tying the figures together.

The update also adds King's five-piece outfit and a radio station with music from the Edgerunners series. It gives fans another way into the same world without retelling the anime's plot.
Two guns and a different look for V
The Double Trouble perk introduces dual-wielding for Power-category pistols and revolvers. New Glamdoc vendors let players change the appearance and colours of their arm cyberware.

For players who enjoy building a character's look, those cosmetic options sit alongside new clothing, hairstyles and Photo Mode poses. The update makes V's appearance a bigger part of the return trip to Night City.

Community mods reach more platforms
Built-in mod.io support lets players browse a supported selection of community mods from the game menu, including on consoles. It does not mean every existing PC mod is compatible.
The patch also adds a console field-of-view slider and groups saves by playthrough. These sit beside the new story and customisation content in a broader update to how the game plays.
Which platforms have the update?
CD PROJEKT RED's October 22 launch notice lists PC, Mac, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with Nintendo Switch 2 still to follow. The detailed rollout notes distinguish Steam, GOG and Epic versions on Mac from the Mac App Store edition, which was also scheduled later. No separate date for those later versions is given in the cited notices.
The artists behind the crossover image
CD PROJEKT RED credits Taisei Uchida for Original Art, Yukiko Kakita for Ink & Paint Check and Yuichiro Tozawa for Special Effects on the update's official illustration. Their names belong alongside the image as the game and anime share the frame.
