CD Projekt Red Releases Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition on Nintendo Switch 2

CD Projekt Red has announced the release of Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2, marking the first time the game is available on a Nintendo console. The Ultimate Edition includes both the base game and the Phantom Liberty expansion, optimized to utilize the Switch 2's unique features such as motion controls, gyroscope mode, mouse controls, and touchscreen capabilities. This release coincides with the launch of Nintendo's upgraded Switch 2, which offers enhanced graphics, improved controllers, and expanded compatibility, retailing at $499 in the US. Despite earlier statements suggesting no further updates for Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red confirmed that patch 2.3 will arrive on June 26, with more details forthcoming in a livestream. The studio's continued support of Cyberpunk 2077, alongside work on other projects like The Witcher 4, reflects its strategy of relying on back catalogue sales amid a trend of delayed new game launches in the industry. The Switch 2's debut and Cyberpunk 2077's new edition highlight the importance of legacy titles in current gaming market dynamics.
