Thanks to being portable, Night City is set officially ready for the road trip, choombas. Cyberpunk 2077 – Ultimate Edition has arrived for the Nintendo Switch 2, with CD Projekt Red sprinkling bits of info every day to make sure no one misses out on any juicy bits. So what is the news that is worthy of the big headline? You can now grab a physical copy of the game with all the goodies stuffed onto a 64GB card (no downloads needed) or go digital if that is your style. Either way, V’s insane journey can go with you anywhere.
Physical versions have always been loved by gamers who waited for so long to get copies followed by no physical release for PC. “Finally, I will have a physical copy since PC never had one,” wrote Doomgüero, while Master52 showered compliments upon CDPR for “keeping the full physical support on cartridges.” Some, however, are salt about storage space- mizo_mizo06 joked, “nah I have to buy physical I’m not letting this take 64 gb of my storage 💀.”
“It is performance-wise all over the gamut.” Glorious720p says, “Performs better than the last gen versions with DLSS upscaling to 1080p,” while Nifur 🅁🅅🄽 ₿ threw shade: “17 fps even with day one patch. What à share.” RCT Gaming reports “having a blast with this version,” even with owning the maxed-out PC edition and calling it a “high-effort” port.
Arguably, the standout feature for the Switch 2 is its always-on glamor, for-serial-handheldness. “Portable + better performance and battery life than on any handheld PC counterpart,” said Glorious720p before the thread weirdly turned into porn addiction accusations (??). El Hijo de Todd compared the PS4 experiences to Switch 2 and said, “oh man, it’s so fun on the S2.”
A couple of users just don’t buy it. A25Phoenix 🇵🇷🇩🇴 said Nintendo exclusives are the best on Switch and that, “the action game isn’t good on the Switch hard to shot.” maxatv is more “far interested in ps5 pro patch,” whereas trguilherm is waiting for that Switch 2 Witcher 3 patch.
The Ultimate Edition boasts all DLC and updates that have seen Cyberpunk 2077 evolve from the rocky launch to being one of the biggest comeback stories. GlyphLocked said at gross midnight release, “fully on the cart, no download needed. Nova game!”
Meanwhile, others such as Frogboyx1Gaming have admitted with a hint of guilt to “fueling the greedy corporations” by going digital. Dew is still “waiting to pre-order a Switch 2 just for the physical copy,” and ALGTR2077 is dying out for a Cyberpunk Switch 2 console edition.
With the release of this port, the redeeming arc for CD Projekt Red with the game continues by ensuring the company supports games on both new and old platforms; then, with rumors of the sequel already swarming, the Switch 2 release will guarantee that the neon lights of Night City are shining on every single screen size imaginable. For now, if you will excuse me, I need to figure out what the hell happened that turned this thread into a porno debate…
