CD Projekt has scheduled a special episode of REDstreams on October 21, 2026, during which further details about the Edgerunners 2 Update will be unveiled, along with the official patch notes. This promises to be a comprehensive reveal for all the new content.
This free update will be accessible across all major platforms, launching simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. Furthermore, the rollout will eventually extend to the Nintendo Switch 2, promising wide accessibility for all players.
For years, fans have been campaigning for more content and expansions for the sprawling universe of Cyberpunk 2077. This surprise update, however, provides exactly what many have been waiting for, proving that the dystopian future of Night City is far from over.
