The Cyberpunk 2077 transmog system we firstglimpsed in Februaryis now fully live thanks to today’s 1.6 “Edgerunners” update, which also includes new gigs, weapons, cross-platform progression, and—most important of all—the ability to take pictures of your cat Nibbles.
Okay, that’s not actually the most important part of the update. That honor clearly belongs to the new transmog system, known in-game as your wardrobe, which enables players to change their style—in the game, to be clear—without having to change their armor stats. Up to six outfits can be created using the wardrobe, which is accessible in any of V’s apartments and safehouses. The update also adds the long-overdue option to modify V’s face and body when visiting Ripperdoc clinics, so you’re no longer stuck forever with the character you designed at the start of the game.
The update also adds a new arcade game to Cyberpunk 2077 called Roach Race, which is not about bugs but about horses-specifically, Geralt’s faithful steed from The Witcher. Roach Race is available in arcade machines scattered throughout the game, and if you really dig it you can also play a standalone version onAndroidoriOSdevices.
Nearly a dozen new weapons are included in the update, six firearms:
And five melee:
The update also adds some new “secrets” tied to the upcomingCyberpunk: Edgerunners animeto the game—it’s called the Edgerunners Update, after all—and new equipment, including the jacket worn by David Martinez, the lead character in the show.
And yes, while I may have goofed a bit on its importance, you can actually take pictures of your cat now: In photo mode, go to the Pose Tab and select Nibbles in the character option. If only taking pictures of your cat was that simple in real life, eh? Do note that this option only becomes available after V invites Nibbles into their apartment.

CD Projektalso announced today that this will be the final major update for Cyberpunk 2077 on previous-gen consoles, those being the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which have always struggled with the game—in fact the Cyberpunk 2077 page on the PlayStation Store carries a warning against trying to run it on a PS4. Future updates are going to make even further changes to in-game systems that older consoles won’t be able to handle at all, so this is it, folks—although CD Projekt said that “smaller updates, primarily focused on tech support to keep it all running smooth” will continue to be released.
Naturally, the Cyberpunk 2077 1.6 “Edgerunners” update also makes a pile of fixes, tweaks, and changes—you can find the full list below.
