CD PROJEKT RED has officially confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will be part of the Nintendo Switch 2‘s launch day lineup, bringing one of gaming’s most ambitious RPGs to a Nintendo platform for the first time. Revealed during the April 2025 Nintendo Direct, the announcement marks a major milestone both for Switch 2 and fans of the dystopian open-world adventure.
A Launch Day Blockbuster
On June 5, 2025, players will be able to dive headfirst into Night City—a neon-drenched metropolis ruled by mega-corporations and cyber-enhanced mercenaries. With over 28 million copies sold globally, Cyberpunk 2077 has become a cultural gaming phenomenon, and its arrival on Switch 2 promises to make it even more accessible.
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition includes:
-
The full base game
-
The Phantom Liberty expansion
-
All current updates and patches
-
Optimizations exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2
Optimized for Nintendo Switch 2 Features
This isn’t just a port. CD PROJEKT RED has redesigned Cyberpunk 2077 for maximum immersion using Switch 2’s hardware innovations, turning the handheld into a true edgerunner’s playground.
Enhanced Gameplay with Switch 2 Capabilities
-
Gyroscope Aiming: Aim with precision using Joy-Con 2 motion control support.
-
Touchscreen Commands: Manage menus, items, and inventory with taps, swipes, and pinches.
-
Mouse Control Mode: Lay the Joy-Con 2 controllers flat and use them like a mouse for point-and-click navigation.

Physical & Digital Release Details
Players can choose how they want to enter Night City:
| Format | Availability |
|---|---|
| Physical Edition | 64 GB cartridge |
| Digital Edition | Nintendo eShop download |
Storage Note
Additional language packs may be downloaded separately via the eShop, potentially increasing the game’s total file size. With 256GB internal storage on Switch 2, this won’t be an issue for most players, but microSD Express cards will help with future expansions.
A First for Nintendo Players
This is the first time ever a CD PROJEKT RED title of this scale hits a Nintendo platform, following only Dark Souls Remastered on the original Switch. The ability to experience a game of this magnitude—complete with sprawling open-world content, narrative depth, and cinematic visuals—on a handheld is a testament to the technical leap made by Switch 2.
Game Director Adam Badowski shared his excitement:
“We are delighted to bring the immersive world of the dark future to Nintendo players for the first time! Thanks to the Nintendo Switch 2 system, you can transport yourself to the City of Dreams at home or on the go.”
Why the Switch 2 Version Matters
With hardware support for 120fps, HDR, enhanced cooling, and Joy-Con 2 innovations, the Switch 2 version of Cyberpunk 2077 represents a true evolution in handheld console gaming.
Players will not only benefit from performance upgrades, but also versatile gameplay modes, allowing both casual and hardcore fans to enjoy the journey their way—whether it’s touchscreen menu navigation or motion-based gunfights.
