Summary

  • Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 uses Nvidia DLSS for improved performance.
  • Switch 2 version offers Quality Mode at 30 FPS & Docked Performance Mode at 40 FPS.
  • Handheld Performance Mode upscales to 720p with the same 40 FPS target.

Before the debut of Nintendo Switch 2, CD Projekt Red disclosed that the upcoming version of Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will employ Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) upscaling technology in both Handheld and Docked modes. The Switch 2 adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077 will also offer a 30 FPS quality mode, along with a 40 FPS performance setting in conjunction with variable refresh rate displays.

The announcement arrived during a hectic period for Nintendo, prior to the launch of the Switch 2. Earlier, pre-orders for the Switch 2 in the U.S. and Canada were postponed due to widespread tariffs by the Trump administration on various goods worldwide. However, Nintendo has now set the date for pre-orders to start on April 24th, through retailers like Best Buy and GameStop. While the Switch 2 console and games will remain unchanged in price due to tariffs, some accessories such as the Switch 2 Pro Controller and USB-C Camera have experienced a slight increase in price to offset costs.

With the knowledge that the Switch 2 boasts a stronger Nvidia processor compared to its predecessor, game developers can take advantage of sophisticated technologies like DLSS to enhance the console’s performance. According to Nintendo Life, CD Projekt Red, in conversation with Digital Foundry, has confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will leverage Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling tech on the Switch 2, thereby optimizing performance in various ways. In Cyberpunk 2077, players will be given a choice between Quality Mode, which maintains the game at 30 frames per second (FPS), and a Performance Mode that offers a smoother 40 FPS. Interestingly, both modes will function differently based on whether the Switch 2 is in Docked or Handheld mode, providing players with up to four distinct upscaling choices overall.

The Switch 2 Version Of Cyberpunk 2077 Will Use Nvidia DLSS In Docked And Handheld Modes

  • Cyberpunk 2077 will use Nvidia DLSS upscaling on the Switch 2.
  • Performance and Quality modes will be offered while the Switch 2 console is either in docked or handheld mode.
  • Both quality modes and the docked performance setting will run the game at 1080p.
  • Handheld performance mode will instead upscale Cyberpunk 2077 to 720p.

In simpler terms, Richard Leadbetter from Digital Foundry mentioned in DF Direct Weekly episode 210 that the Quality and Handheld versions of a game (not specified) will run at 30 frames per second in 1080p resolution for Docked mode and 1080p on compatible 120 Hz displays, respectively. The Handheld Performance mode might adjust its resolution to 720p while maintaining the same 40 FPS target as the Docked version. As for Cyberpunk 2077 on the Switch 2, it will use an older version of Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) that is compatible with the device’s custom Tegra processor. This means that advanced features like DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation won’t be available in Cyberpunk 2077 on the Switch 2.

The video game titled “Cyberpunk 2077” is among the expanding collection of third-party games destined for the Switch 2. On June 5, we can expect the Switch 2 adaptation of “Cyberpunk 2077” to be released, leaving us in anticipation as to how the Night City landscape will appear on Nintendo’s forthcoming device.
