CD projekt red has spoken about the port of Cyberpunk 2077 for the Nintendo Switch 2revealing an exclusive feature not found in any other version of the RPG.
Cyberpunk 2077 Will Feature an Exclusive Function on Switch 2
If you’re planning to get the Nintendo Switch 2 at launch, you’ll be glad to know that one of the greatest role-playing games of all time will be available on day one for the hybrid console. And what’s more, it will be one of the few third-party titles to come fully on a physical cartridge.
Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition will debut the Switch 2’s new 64 GB cartridges with an edition that lives up to the hype. It will include both the base game and the Phantom Liberty DLC.
Additionally, Nintendo and NVIDIA have confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 will be the first game on the hybrid console to support DLSS. CD project clarified that the footage shown so far comes from a version still in development.
The game is set to launch on Switch 2 on June 5, 2025, at a price of $69.99, both physically and digitally via the eShop.
Developer Insights
Nintendo has also released a new episode of its Creator’s Voice series, following previous features on The Duskbloods, Hades 2, Split Fiction, and Hogwarts Legacy. This time, the show takes us to CD Projekt’s offices to discuss the Switch 2 port of Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition.
Beyond technical details, director Adam Badowski and VP of Technology Charles Tremblay talk about the development of this version, which aims to surprise players.
The sci-fi RPG is preparing a spectacular debut on Nintendo Switch 2. While it doesn’t quite match the quality seen on PC, PS5, or Xbox Series Xthe visuals shown so far clearly surpass what’s currently achievable on the Steam Deck, for instance.
This improvement will be noticeable from the first steps taken in Night City, and especially when driving through the futuristic city’s highways.
Perhaps the most notable detail is the large number of NPCs populating the streets—nothing like the limited versions seen on PS4 and Xbox One—which enhances exploration and immersion in this sci-fi world.
Exclusive Motion Controls on Switch 2
From a gameplay standpoint, Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition supports Switch 2’s mouse mode as well as gyroscopic controls, meaning you’ll be able to play in a unique way using the Joy-Con 2.
CD Projekt also confirms that melee weapons—like katanas, swords, or mantis blades—can be exclusively controlled using motion sensor input on Switch 2.
For those who’ve already experienced Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation, Xbox, or PCthis exclusive feature may be reason enough to revisit the RPG on Nintendo’s new console. According to Digital Foundry, the port still needs a bit more development time, but what we’ve seen so far looks very promising.
Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition is currently available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam Deck (the base game is also on PS4 and Xbox One). The Nintendo Switch 2 version launches on the same day as the console itself—June 5, 2025.
