Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition Showcases Innovative Nintendo Switch 2 Features in New Gameplay Footage CD Projekt RED’s highly acclaimed Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition is gearing up for an ambitious release on the Nintendo Switch 2, with new gameplay footage surfacing courtesy of Denfaminicogamer’s preview coverage.

This footage provides the clearest look yet at how the sprawling open-world RPG performs and innovates on Nintendo’s next-generation handheld-console hybrid, ahead of its official launch on June 5, 2025, via both retail and the Nintendo eShop. Cyberpunk 2077, originally launched in 2020 for PC and other platforms, places players in the shoes of V, a cyber-enhanced mercenary navigating the futuristic metropolis of Night City.

CD Projekt RED has underscored that the title is "optimized for every mode of play" available on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Key features include a versatile control scheme: motion controls enhance melee and ranged combat, while Gyroscope Mode allows for precise aiming.

The touch screen can be used to tap, swipe, or pinch through menus and inventories, and the updated Joy-Con 2 (R) functions as a mouse for intuitive interface navigation.

This comprehensive support promises to let players experience Night City in ways tailored to the strengths of the Switch 2 hardware. Publisher statements highlight the title’s core pillars: - **Explore The City of the Future:** Night City stands as one of gaming’s most meticulously crafted open worlds, filled with activities, districts, and diverse NPCs to engage. - **Experience Endless Possibilities:** Players can customize V’s playstyle, skills, cyberware, and arsenal, offering numerous paths to build a legend. - **Decide How The Story Ends:** Choices made throughout both the base game and Phantom Liberty expansion will result in branching outcomes that shape characters’ destinies and the overall narrative. - **Discover New Ways to Play:** Innovative control options, from motion swings to gyroscope targeting, enhance combat and exploration, while touchscreen support streamlines in-game management. - **Claim Exclusive Items:** Through CD Projekt RED’s My Rewards program, Switch 2 players will be able to unlock digital bonuses and content inspired by the developer’s acclaimed catalog. The arrival of Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 further demonstrates Nintendo’s commitment to broadening its platform’s third-party offerings and delivering major AAA experiences on-the-go.

With both physical and digital editions available, and full support for modern control innovations, this release is set to become a notable highlight in the Nintendo Switch 2’s expanding portfolio. Stay tuned for further details and impressions as the June 2025 launch approaches.
