Cyberpunk 2077 On Switch 2 Is “Best Way To Play It On The Go” Says CDPR

Expert Verified By

CDPR Prefers Switch 2 Over Handhelds Like Rog Ally And Steam Deck!

Story Highlight
  • CDPR has praised the Cyberpunk 2077 experience on the Nintendo Switch 2 yet again.
  • Due to features like the Joy-Con controllers and more, the team is confident that the handheld gameplay is the best it has ever been.
  • The studio even puts the Nintendo Switch 2 above handhelds like the Steam Deck and Rog Ally.

Cyberpunk 2077 is heading to the Nintendo Switch 2, and CDPR is completely dedicated to making this version of the game as great as possible. Thanks to the new graphical capabilities of the console and more modern architecture, the RPG is expected to play better than its last-gen PS4 and Xbox One counterparts.

CDPR has also praised the Nintendo Switch 2 over other handhelds, dubbing it the best place to play Cyberpunk 2077 on the go.

Why it matters: The Nintendo Switch 2 offers modest hardware compared to the best handhelds on the market, making CDPR’s thoughts on the console quite interesting.

In a new video detailing the Cyberpunk 2077 experience on the Nintendo Switch 2, CDPR pointed to the console’s unique strengths.

These include the new Joy-Con controllers, the VRR LCD, and more, resulting in a solid experience for anyone who wishes to play the RPG without being constrained to a single place.

According to Charles Tremblay, VP of Technology at CDPR, the Nintendo Switch 2 is ideal for those interested in playing Cyberpunk 2077 in handheld mode.

I do think it’s the best way to play the game on the go.

This comment is interesting because handhelds like the Rog Ally and Steam Deck offer more raw hardware power on paper. However, because of key optimizations made for the Nintendo hardware, the team is confident this version will outshine other handheld experiences.

Nintendo Switch 2
The New Hardware Has Received Plenty of Praise From The Industry So Far

For context, Cyberpunk 2077 on the Rog Ally can target 60FPS in handheld mode across various resolutions depending on the settings. The Nintendo Switch 2, on the other hand, offers a lower frame rate target, but CDPR’s optimizations mean that the experience is more stable overall.

More comparisons of the handheld Cyberpunk 2077 experience should be available once the Nintendo Switch 2 launches in June, so fans won’t be waiting too long to delve further into the smaller differences between each version.
