Among the games set for release with the Nintendo Switch 2, which is scheduled to launch on June 5, 2025, Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition stands out as the most refined portable version, according to its developers. CD Projekt Red recently released a video titled “Creator’s Voice,” showcasing the efforts made to adapt this ambitious RPG for Nintendo’s new hybrid console. This Ultimate Edition includes the base game, all major updates, and the Phantom Liberty expansion. Unlike many third-party titles on Switch 2 that necessitate an additional download via a “Game Key Card,” Cyberpunk 2077 will be entirely playable from a 64GB cartridge without further installation.
CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the Switch 2 version of the game will offer superior performance compared to previous-generation consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One. This is achieved through the integration of technologies such as Nvidia’s DLSS and VRR, providing a 1080p resolution in docked mode and 720p in handheld mode, ensuring smooth gameplay. The Switch 2 also offers advanced customization options, including the ability to use a Joy-Con to simulate katana movements, enhancing the immersive gameplay experience. According to CD Projekt Red, playing Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 is “the best way to discover the game in handheld mode.” This statement underscores the studio’s confidence in the console’s ability to deliver a rich and fluid gaming experience, even while on the move. However, final judgment will have to wait until the final version is available.
