We benchmarked Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2, PS4, PS4 Pro and Series S - so what did we learn?


Last-gen class CPU performance, but what about graphics - and DLSS? Digital Foundry investigates.

In Cyberpunk 2077, 30fps streaming tests clearly show Switch 2 a good chunk ahead of PlayStation 4 but not quite as fast as PS4 Pro - where its Jaguar CPU cores featured a circa 30 percent increase to clock speeds. It's no surprise to see Series S exhibiting zero issues whatsoever handling Cyberpunk 2077 at the 30fps limit - the Zen 2 cores in current-gen consoles are over twice as fast as the Jaguars in last-gen, so Virtuos's comments are proven out. The GPU side of things sees Switch 2 perform very nicely for a system in the 20W ballpark, pulling ahead of PS4 and even getting into PS4 Pro territory in some cases - all the while running the computationally heavy DLSS upscaler.
