## Summary

Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.5 update launched alongside the debut of Edgerunners 2 on Netflix. CD Projekt Red associate director Paweł Sasko said the team wanted the patch to make the links between the game, the animated series and other Cyberpunk stories feel more direct and meaningful.

The update adds a quest set before the new series, following the final job of Team King and introducing King, Meshuga, Miguel and Emily. It also takes players to a previously unexplored part of Night City and uses the series’ voice actors for the characters. Sasko wanted the patch to go further than 2022’s Edgerunners Update, which added features including transmog and cross-progression; after 2.5 arrived, the game reached its highest Steam player count in three years.
