Cyberpunk 2077 May Not Come to the Nintendo Switch

Despite being a newer console, the Nintendo Switch doesn’t boast the same kind of power as the likes of the PS4 and Xbox One. With a lot of people excited for the release of Cyberpunk 2077 this year, it’s possible that the game may not come to the Switch at all.

Talking to OnMSFT, CD Projekt Red’s John Mamais explains that Cyberpunk may be too heavy for the Switch. When asked about the game coming to the platform, he says:

Not as far as I know. Not yet. I don’t know if Cyberpunk 2077 would work on the Nintendo Switch. It might be too heavy for it. But then, we did put Witcher 3 on it and we thought that would be too heavy too but somehow we pulled it off.

While the developers did find a way to bring The Witcher 3 to the Switch, Cyberpunk is a whole new animal for developers. Then again, Mamais did make the point that they were able to pull off what they thought was initially impossible. Who knows, maybe the devs will find a way down the line; I mean, if there’s money to be made, I don’t think there’s too much harm in trying.

For now, Cyberpunk 2077 has been significantly delayed. Originally set to come out this April, the game is now set to release in September. Hopefully, by then the devs have polished the game to perfection.

Cyberpunk 2077 is set to release on Sept. 17 and will be available for the Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
