Nintendo Switch 2 players of Cyberpunk 2077 have been treated to a surprise this July. Despite previous statements from CD Projekt Red (CDPR) indicating the hybrid console wouldn’t receive the highly anticipated 2.3 update alongside other platforms, the patch dropped early on July 17, 2025.
Back in late June 2025, CDPR delayed the Cyberpunk 2077 2.3 update, citing additional polish was needed for the dystopian RPG’s next big patch. The developer’s official announcement about the release clearly stated that the Switch 2 version would get the update “at a later date,” separate from the rollout on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
However, contrary to those plans, the 2.3 patch went live on Nintendo’s hybrid console simultaneously with other platforms. This unexpected early release caught many fans off guard and was warmly welcomed by the Switch 2 community.
While the exact size of the update on Switch 2 remains unconfirmed, players can expect the same content improvements, bug fixes, and gameplay enhancements featured in the patch notes shared by CDPR. This includes optimizations aimed at improving performance and stability, making the experience smoother for Switch 2 users.
The surprise rollout highlights CD Projekt Red’s ongoing efforts to support Cyberpunk 2077 across all platforms and shows a commitment to delivering content to Nintendo Switch 2 owners sooner than anticipated.
What This Means for Switch 2 Players
For fans playing on Switch 2, this early update means quicker access to quality-of-life improvements and new content without further wait. The update boosts confidence that Nintendo’s hybrid console will continue to receive strong developer support, ensuring Cyberpunk 2077 stays fresh and engaging.
