As the Nintendo Switch 2 prepares for its global launch, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will officially support Nvidia’s DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology. This makes it the first Switch 2 title to implement DLSS, bringing advanced upscaling and performance enhancements to both Handheld and Docked play modes.
🎮 DLSS Enhances Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2
CD Projekt Red shared that Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 will give players the choice between:
-
30 FPS Quality Mode
-
40 FPS Performance Mode (requires a VRR-capable display)
These modes will vary based on whether the Switch 2 is docked or played handheld, creating four unique performance options depending on how the game is run.
By integrating DLSS, the game can:
-
Upscale to higher resolutions without taxing the hardware
-
Maintain smoother frame rates
-
Deliver improved visual clarity and stability
This confirms that Switch 2’s Nvidia-powered processor will enable new-gen gaming tech previously limited to PC and high-end consoles.
🛍️ Switch 2 Pre-Order and Launch Details
Nintendo also confirmed that Switch 2 pre-orders will officially begin on Thursday, April 24 in the US and Canada, despite earlier delays related to trade tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.
While Switch 2 consoles and games won’t see a price hike, some accessories—including the Switch 2 Pro Controller and USB-C Camera—will receive slight price increases to offset tariff costs.
🧠What This Means for Nintendo Gamers
The inclusion of DLSS in Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition signals a major performance leap for portable Nintendo gaming. With options tailored to different display setups and refresh rates, this is a huge win for tech-conscious players and open-world RPG fans alike.
As more developers optimize for DLSS and VRR, Switch 2 could reshape expectations for hybrid gaming devices moving forward.
CD Projekt Red’s commitment to bringing a fully optimized Cyberpunk 2077 experience to the Switch 2—complete with DLSS support, performance modes, and next-gen visuals—sets a powerful precedent. With launch just around the corner, Nintendo’s newest hardware might finally bridge the gap between portability and power.
