Chooms, the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct dropped some excellent news back in April, and now the big day is here; Cyberpunk 2077 is out on the Switch 2, so we're all heading to Night City to join V as they take the fight to Arasaka. CD Projekt Red's ARPG is one of my favorite games of all time. I've lost count of the number of times I've visited the place where legends are born, and I can't wait to do it again on the Switch successor.
Without a doubt, Cyberpunk 2077 is already one of the best Switch RPGs you can play, which should come as little surprise given how beloved CD Projekt Red's action game is, even if it didn't have the best start in 2020. Sure, the game was buggy as all hell and crashed every hour, but I still pumped 144 hours into it and got my shiny platinum trophy. Since then, the devs have released numerous patches and updates, giving us all the experience they promised, so the Nintendo Switch 2 is about to take hundreds of hours of my life. Especially as the game supports motion controls - time for a melee build, I think.
Better still, the Phantom Liberty DLC comes as part of the package, and trust me when I say it's one of the best expansions you can play, but after The Witcher 3's Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine DLCs, you probably expect quality DLC from CD Projekt Red at this point.
When was the Cyberpunk 2077 Nintendo Switch 2 release date?
Cyberpunk 2077 released on the Switch 2 on June 5, the same day that Nintendo launched the console.
If you're completely new to the ARPG, Cyberpunk 2077 takes place in Night City, where our hero, V, resides. You get to choose their life path - Nomad, Street Kid, or Corpo - all of which give you a different prologue, dialogue options, and even missions throughout the game. Personally, I tend to go for Street Kid, but the other two have their merits, too, so maybe I'll give one of them another shot on the Nintendo Switch 2.
@pockettactics We got to check out the #NintendoSwitch2 ahead of its June release date, and this year's most-anticipated console is well worth the wait 🎮✨
Like any ARPG worth its salt, there's plenty of action for you to sink your teeth into, and you get to choose your own playstyle - I tend to favor carnage with handguns and some hacking, but there are plenty of other options for you if you want to be stealthy. My advice is to think carefully about your choices; Night City can turn on you in a second.
