Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 Brings Mods to PS5, Switch 2 and Xbox

Update 2.5 adds cross-platform console mod support alongside Edgerunners content, but how mods will be distributed and vetted is unclear.

Cyberpunk 2077's 2.5 update adds cross-platform mod support to consoles, and the headline platforms are PS5, Switch 2 and Xbox. It also brings content inspired by the new season of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime on Netflix.

The Edgerunners material is the easier part to list. It includes a new side quest, a gear set based on the character Weak Kingsley, and a new radio station that plays music from the show. The patch notes run long, and there is more in them than a summary covers.

Some additions work without any knowledge of the anime. A Double Trouble perk option lets players dual-wield pistols and revolvers. A side quest offers a city tour guided by Richard Night.

The mod support is the part with the longest shelf life. The Edgerunners items are a tie-in to a single season of a show, while a mod system keeps producing content after the promotion fades. Mods have long been a PC habit, and console players have usually had a narrower, more controlled version of it. Bethesda's games are the best-known example of mods running on consoles. Putting Cyberpunk's mods on three console platforms at once, including Nintendo's newest hardware, widens that group.

The practical questions are still open. How mods will be distributed, vetted or limited on consoles has not been announced. Those choices decide whether the feature feels like a curated storefront or an open workshop, and whether the Switch 2 version gets the same range as the PS5 and Xbox ones.
