Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2: Cross-Progression and Performance Goals Revealed!

by

Summary

  • Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 will have cross-progression, allowing saves between platforms.
  • Performance goals for Switch 2: 1080p docked, 720p handheld, 30-40 FPS.
  • Despite the improvements, some may find it disappointing that a 2020 title runs at 720p on the new console.

CD Projekt RED has shared some significant updates regarding the performance targets and progress of cross-save functionality for “Cyberpunk 2077” on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The game is slated to debut as a launch title for the Switch 2 on June 5, expanding the reach of its sci-fi RPG to another platform.

Back in December 2020, the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 was more of a fiasco than a triumph, but CD Projekt RED has been relentless in their efforts to meet the expectations set prior to release. Today, Night City within Cyberpunk 2077 is practically unrelated to the game that initially debuted, offering an exhilarating gaming experience instead. The recent confirmation during the April 2 Nintendo Direct that a Switch 2 port of Cyberpunk 2077 is in the works is exciting news indeed, as it promises to be a fantastic demonstration of the capabilities of Nintendo’s upcoming hardware platform.

Through a succession of updates on X, it’s been clarified that Cyberpunk 2077 will accommodate some significant features for the Switch 2 version. Notably, cross-platform saving is planned, enabling players to carry forward their game progress from different devices and vice versa. In terms of performance, CD Projekt RED is targeting a resolution of 1080p when docked and 720p in handheld mode on the Switch 2, while striving to maintain a consistent frame rate between 30-40 FPS at all times.

Cyberpunk 2077 Will Be Cross-Progression Compatible on Switch 2

It’s clear from the post that the studio is continuing to enhance the game’s performance, but whether it can meet these performance standards remains uncertain. Some gamers might find the graphical performance of Switch 2 underwhelming, particularly when it comes to Cyberpunk 2077. Interestingly, even a 2025 console release will run this 2020 title at 720p resolution, which may catch some by surprise given its high-quality graphics.

As CD Projekt RED continues to advance on the production of “The Witcher 4”, fans might have to patiently wait before they can dive into a fresh “Cyberpunk” experience. However, there’s some good news: The studio has increased its hiring efforts, with work still in progress for Project Orion, the game that will eventually be the sequel to “Cyberpunk”. Although it may take time before a new “Cyberpunk” game arrives, it’s hoped that the wait will prove worthwhile.
