The inclusion of Cyberpunk 2077 on Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 highlights the console’s growing appeal among third-party developers. Following its announcement during a Nintendo Direct presentation, early footage suggests the game runs smoothly despite hardware limitations.

A recent video from Cycu1 breaks down the visual differences between Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2, PS4 Pro, PS5, and PS5 Pro. By comparing frames from the Switch 2 trailer with identical scenes from PlayStation versions, the creator provides insights into how each platform handles the game’s demanding graphics.

Visually, the gap between platforms isn’t as wide as one might expect. Unsurprisingly, PS5 and PS5 Pro deliver the most polished experience with superior resolution and effects. Meanwhile, Switch 2 sits comfortably between PS4 Pro’s detail levels and PS5’s advanced lighting techniques. However, the trade-offs are noticeable in portable mode, where the game operates at 720p, scaling up to 1080p when docked.

Although CD Projekt RED has yet to share comprehensive technical details about the Switch 2 port, they’ve confirmed it includes the complete game, ensuring no content is left behind. This achievement underscores the studio’s commitment to making their ambitious RPG accessible across multiple platforms.
