Cyberpunk 2077 On The Switch 2 Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg

Cyberpunk 2077 stumbled out of the gate in 2020 with bugs and performance woes, but CD Projekt Red didn’t give up. Years of patches and the Phantom Liberty expansion turned it into a fan favorite. Now, it’s landing on the Nintendo Switch 2 with all that polish included. The console’s upgraded hardware—like a custom NVIDIA chip—makes it possible. Curious about the tech? GamesRadar+ breaks it down.

What You Get With the Switch 2 Version

The Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition arrives on the Nintendo Switch 2 for $69.99. It bundles the base game and Phantom Liberty, plus cross-progression so you can switch platforms without losing your save. The new Joy-Con 2 adds motion controls for a unique twist. It’s targeting 1080p docked and 720p handheld, with 30-40 FPS. CD Projekt Red spilled the details on their official site. Still, some wonder if it’ll hold up—Nintendo Life has more on that.

Fans Weigh In

The community’s split. Some are hyped—TheGamer says it’s a game-changer for the Switch 2’s cred. Others aren’t sold, worrying about frame rates on a portable. Early previews, like GamesRadar+’s hands-on, suggest it’s smoother than expected. For more Switch 2 chatter, check Total Apex Gaming.

The Bigger Picture

This isn’t just about one game. The Nintendo Switch 2 launches with a stacked lineup—think Mario Kart World and Street Fighter 6. It’s a push for third-party heavyweights, something the original Switch took years to nail. CD Projekt Red’s Jan Rosner hinted at more to come in a Wccftech interview. If the Switch 2 can handle Cyberpunk 2077, what’s next—GTA VI? It’s a bold step into a new era for Nintendo.
