Hands-on with Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2: can the new Nintendo console handle it?
The code's seven weeks old with more development time to come - but this is what Digital Foundry thinks of Cyberpunk on Switch 2 based on the public demo.
Yes, you can play it on PS4 or Xbox One with varying levels of effectiveness, but it scales up to challenge even the most powerful PC hardware of the era, up to and including the mighty RTX 5090 - which makes its debut on Switch 2 absolutely fascinating. However, indoor scenes fare better and I did play some of the base game's introduction sequence (the Street Kid variant, which kicks off in the bar used for the PC version's benchmark run) which did seem to suggest that the content was lighter and ran better overall. One thing of interest is that the dip in performance seen in the Nintendo Direct footage when leaving the black market (a 23fps minimum) was not present when I visited the same area in the demo - which may be down to further optimisation or else different time of day and gameplay conditions.
