Cyberpunk 2077 was launched in a sorry state on PC and consoles in the 2020 holiday season. Since then, CD Projekt Red has worked hard to optimize the game for various hardware, including the Ryzen 8000 APUs, and the Steam Deck handheld.
Shaz from Pixel Swish: "From the Asus ROG Ally X to the Lenovo Legion GO to the Steam Deck, we’ve gotten a lot of PC handhelds over the past few years. However, for as impressive and exciting as these PC handhelds are, they all fall shy in one way or another from my dream device."
Cyberpunk 2077 Nintendo Switch 2 gameplay footage running in 4K has been released online, showing off the handheld device’s impressive power. The video, which runs for nearly 20 minutes, claims to show the game running in Quality/Max Graphics mode, presumably trading off higher framerates for increased fidelity.
Damn! CDPR really is proud of their work! They don't want to hide it anymore, like what they did on the PS4/XBO version.
But I do remember the initial comments from folks here, about 2077 able to run at Xbox One quality at best.
With DLSS and newer architecture it’s a small miracle of modern tech it can even run well on 9W. The fact that the PS5 build only runs sub 4K at around 1400P, and we’re critiquing a tiny handheld for hitting 1080P/30 high settings and upscaling to 4K is nitpicking at its finest.
A summary of DF’s remarks on PS4 performance by comparison: “PS4 Dynamic 720 - 900P but spends most of the time at 720p. Hardly ever holds 30fps, dips to the mid teens sometimes, and 20s while driving”.
Switch 2 is very well optimised it runs significantly better with a clearer and more high fidelity image.
Huge improvement.
Sorry to be clear not better than ps5 better than I expected* and comparing it to steamdeck which was what I expected to see comparison to
The fact this is is on a proper cart WITH THE DLC as well and looks to he a competent port made this a day 1 buy
Ok. If Cyberpunk 2077 can run and look like this, Nintendo has no excuses to make games that look like PS3 games. I hope bullshit like "it's Nintendo", "Hardware limitations", are over. Nintendo needs to deliver games that look better than PS4 games.
Sadly Nintendo will still support the older Switch from quiet sometime ... treating it as more of a Pro model majorly. (If the rumors are to go by)
Very few Switch 2 1st party exclusives for the initial foreseeable future.
3rd party tho, will take the advantage.
I'm confused on "needs to deliver games that look better than PS4 games." The kids and I have had plenty of fun with the Switch without the need to try and keep up with the likes of Sony and Microsoft.
Exactly I had more fun with Nintendo's first party offerings in the last few years than most visually impressive games with low effort gameplay.
Valve gave a user Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for free as compensation for the long wait during their Steam Deck repair.
I had a similar experience when I initially pre-ordered my Deck. There was an issue during shipping and they offered me a customer service perk for the hassle and let me pick any game on Steam. It was super nice of them. I got a copy of Rime.
