Cyberpunk 2077 On Switch 2 Is “Best Way To Experience The Game On The Go,” Says Dev

CD Projekt Red thinks there’s no better option to experience Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition on a portable device than with Nintendo Switch 2. This statement might be interpreted as a challenge directed towards portable PC devices like the Steam Deck, but it also reflects the strong faith the studio has in their upcoming launch title running smoothly and optimally on the Nintendo Switch 2.

In a recent YouTube video from Creator’s Voice, CD Projekt Red’s Vice President of Technology, Charles Tremblay, shared his excitement about Cyberpunk 2077 running on Switch 2, particularly in handheld mode. He remarked that the new LCD screens with VRR support on Switch 2 make it an ideal platform for enjoying the game while on-the-go, saying, “I truly believe it’s the best way to experience the game outside of a fixed location.

Delightfully, I can’t help but express my excitement as a fan, saying that Tremblay hinted at an engaging twist: playing Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 will offer a more cyberpunk experience. Moreover, in an intriguing revelation from CD Projekt Red game director Adam Badowski, players of the Nintendo Switch 2 can expect to wield their katana using one of the Joy-Cons! Previously, it was announced that touchscreen controls and mouse functionality would be available when Cyberpunk 2077 was confirmed as a launch title for the upcoming hybrid console.

Cyberpunk 2077 was the initial game announced for Switch 2 to include DLSS support, using Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling in all four modes for its RPG. This development has presented “challenges” for CD Projekt Red, but they seem content with the outcomes as we approach the Switch 2 launch on June 5.

Concerning an upgrade of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for Switch 2 (given that it’s already available on the original Switch), CD Projekt Red is currently prioritizing Cyberpunk 2077 for the console. Preorders are currently open for Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2, with the entire game contained on the cartridge.
