Cyberpunk 2077 dev says putting the whole game on Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge was the “right thing to do”
Posted on 15 hours ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
At least for the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, Cyberpunk 2077 is the only original third-party game that has everything on the cartridge. Many titles are opting to instead take advantage of game-key cards. That means you’re getting a cartridge, but you need to download all of the title’s data first before you can play it.
Jan Rosner, VP of business development at CD Projekt Red, has now spoken about the decision to have the entire Cyberpunk 2077 experience on the Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge. This follows the company’s approach with The Witcher 3 on Switch 1, which was also a full physical release.
