New Side Quests and Perks in Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 Update
Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.5 Update Delivers a Massive Boost for Night City
CD Projekt Red has just dropped a bombshell, revealing that the Cyberpunk 2077 universe is about to get a serious injection of fresh content with the upcoming 2.5 update. This patch isn’t just a routine tune-up; it’s a deep dive into new side quests, revolutionary customization options, and gameplay mechanics designed to pull players back into the neon-drenched streets of Night City.
The update expertly ties into the cultural zeitgeist by delivering substantial content related to the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime. Fans of the series will be thrilled by new material, including the side quest Clampdown, set chronologically before the events of Edgerunners 2. Players will earn a new 5-piece gear set based on the character King and tune into a new radio station, HKGN 102.0 FM, featuring tracks from the series.
Beyond the anime crossover, the update ensures there is plenty for every type of player. A guided tour of Night City awaits through the side quest, narrated by the city’s founder himself, Richard Night, offering a unique mystery exploration. Meanwhile, those who enjoy delving into fate will find an extension of , complete with twelve new Minor Arcana Tarot Cards hidden across the sprawl.
For the true Night City enthusiast, the customization options are where the update truly shines. Players can now completely refresh their chrome. New shops offer unique cyberware skins for implants like the Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire, and Projectile Launch System, complete with exclusive intro scenes and customizable colors. This cosmetic overhaul is just one piece of the puzzle.
The most game-changing addition, however, is the introduction of the perk in the Cool tree. This perk allows players to dual-wield Pistols and Revolvers from the Power category for the first time, promising an entirely new, high-octane playstyle that could redefine combat in Night City.
Under the hood, the update brings significant technical upgrades that promise smoother, more visually stunning performance across all platforms. Players on console will benefit from an FOV (Field Of View) slider, while PC and console users will experience improved quality-of-life features like grouped saves and better item filtering. Technologically, support for DLSS 4.5, including up to 6X Multi Frame Generation, and the 2nd Generation Transformer Model, alongside performance boosts for Ray Tracing, ensures that the world looks better and runs faster than ever before.
With these massive additions—from anime tie-ins and deep customization to groundbreaking gameplay mechanics and technical improvements—the 2.5 update is a welcome surprise. It offers a vibrant return to Night City for lapsed players and a compelling reason for fans of Cyberpunk 2077 to jump back into the action.
