Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5 Patch Notes: Clampdown Quest, Glamdocs, Console Mods and Hotfix 2.500.200

The full Update 2.5 notes go well beyond dual-wielding: a new King side quest, cyberware skins, mod.io mods on consoles, new tarot cards, plus what hotfix 2.500.200 fixes.

Dual-wielding grabbed the headlines, but it's only one line in a surprisingly long list. CD Projekt Red published the full notes for Cyberpunk 2077's Edgerunners 2 Update (2.5) on October 21, and the patch went live on October 22, 2026 on PC, Mac, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It's free for everyone who owns the game. A small follow-up, hotfix 2.500.200, arrived on October 27.

Here's what's actually in the update, beyond the second pistol.

TL;DR

  • New side quest, Clampdown: a prison break for a merc named King, with a new five-piece outfit and an iconic revolver.
  • Cyberware customization: five new Glamdoc shops sell skins for Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire and the Projectile Launch System.
  • Mods on consoles: cross-platform mod support through mod.io, browsable from the in-game menu.
  • Dual-wielding: the Double Trouble perk in the Cool tree, for Power pistols and revolvers.
  • More to find: a new side quest called Welcome to Paradise, 12 Minor Arcana tarot cards and a new radio station.
  • Consoles get an FOV slider, and PC gets DLSS 4.5 support.
  • Hotfix 2.500.200 only fixes a save-access problem for players in Argentina.

The biggest changes

Clampdown and the King gear set

The headline content tie-in is Clampdown, a new side quest set before the events of Edgerunners 2. To unlock it, finish the main job The Heist, complete two gigs for the Westbrook fixer Wakako, then wait for her message. Doing the job earns the new King gear set, which has five pieces. The quest also introduces a new iconic weapon. We break it all down in a separate step-by-step guide.

Alongside it comes HKGN 102.0 FM, a radio station that plays tracks from the Edgerunners anime.

Cyberware customization through Glamdocs

Your chrome can finally match your outfit. Update 2.5 adds five Glamdocs, marked on the map with a spray-paint icon. Each one is its own shop with an intro scene and a catalog of skins, and you can tweak the colors. At launch, the system covers four arm cyberware options: Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire and the Projectile Launch System.

Mods come to consoles

This is arguably the biggest long-term change. Cyberpunk 2077 now has cross-platform mod support powered by mod.io. You can browse and install player-made mods straight from the game's menu on PC, Mac, PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2. CD Projekt Red says it will add more mods over time.

There's a catch for trophy hunters. Modded saves now show their own icon in the Load Game menu, and on consoles a modded save can't earn achievements or trophies. If you're chasing a platinum, keep a clean save.

Dual-wielding

The Double Trouble perk sits in the Cool tree and comes with four supporting perks. It lets V hold a pistol or revolver in each hand, but only Power weapons qualify, so Tech and Smart handguns are out. Photo Mode also gets new dual-wielding poses. Our earlier guide covers how to unlock and build around it.

New content and collectibles

  • Welcome to Paradise: a second new side quest, in which Richard Night narrates a guided tour of Night City. It unlocks after The Heist once you reach Street Cred 15.
  • Tarot: there are 12 new Minor Arcana cards to find. The tarot menu now splits Major and Minor Arcana. Scanning the new cards continues the Fool on the Hill quest, and finding all of them earns a reward.
  • Clothing vendors: new shops are spread across Night City, including Maxiwear (Heywood, Arroyo, Little China), Jinguji (City Center), NetWatch (Kabuki, Japantown) and IconAmerica (Pacifica, Badlands, Northside). Clothing vendors in Kabuki and Japantown now also sell the NUS Infiltrator set.
  • Hairstyles: some styles that only NPCs had before are now available to V. A few are limited to one body type.
  • Photo Mode: new Trading Card Game frames.
  • Twitch Drops: four TWINTONE skins for the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech.

Quality of life and tech

  • The Load Game screen now groups saves by playthrough, which is a relief if you've got several Vs on the go.
  • Apartment and vehicle stashes get item filters.
  • Consoles finally get a field-of-view slider.
  • PC adds DLSS 4.5, including up to 6X Multi Frame Generation, plus an FSR Anti-Lag 2 toggle. FSR 3 upscaling has been removed. FSR 2.1, FSR 4 and FSR 3.1 Frame Generation remain.
  • Mac adds MetalFX Frame Interpolation support.
  • The notes promise performance gains, especially with ray tracing and on PS5 Pro, plus better HDR color, brightness and contrast.

Bug fixes worth knowing

  • PS5 HDR settings that had no effect now work.
  • The Switch 2 "Save failed – insufficient space" error has been fixed.
  • A crash could leave a Delamain cab stuck and block the quest Things Done Changed. That's fixed.
  • The Film Grain setting works again.
  • With some control schemes, tagging enemies while scanning made V crouch or stand up. That no longer happens.

Hotfix 2.500.200: smaller than it looks

On October 27, a download of roughly 1 to 1.2GB showed up on PS5, and players were hoping it was a big round of fixes. It wasn't. Through the official Cyberpunk 2077 account on X, CD Projekt Red explained that hotfix 2.500.200 fixes an issue that stopped players in Argentina from accessing their saved games. Because of how console patches are distributed, players in other regions download it too, but nothing else changes for them.

That leaves a number of community-reported 2.5 problems unaddressed for now, including crashes, missing quest markers and HDR complaints on PS5. The update has since reached Nintendo Switch 2, where Nintendo Life reports crashes and save glitches. CD Projekt Red hasn't announced a date for the next hotfix.

What it means for players

Update 2.5 is a bigger reason to return than the dual-wielding announcement suggested. You get a new quest with a fresh iconic weapon, a cosmetic system that finally covers your arm cyberware, and mod support that changes what console versions can do. If your save is past The Heist, start with Clampdown and the Glamdocs. Console players who want mods should keep a separate unmodded save for trophies. And if you're on Switch 2 or seeing PS5 HDR issues, it may be worth waiting for the next proper hotfix.
