Today, Nintendo revealed the Switch 2, and the big news for Cyberpunk fans is that both the base game and the expansion are coming to the new handheld.
NIntendo Switch 2 users will probably be getting their hands on the best version at launch now that the game is in great shape. We all remember the problems of the PC launch all too well.
Phantom Liberty was an outstanding expansion, and the good news is that it will be bundled with the original game. A whole new audience is about to experience one of the best open-world action RPGs created to date, and I am envious of those who are yet to experience the story and Night City.
The Switch 2 is quite a step up from the original device, with 1080p on the new larger screen and 4K to TV. The Joy-Cons have also been given a makeover and can be used as a mouse.
Switch 2 Launch Date and Price
So when does the new Switch 2 launch? It will be available on 5 June, and Cyberpunk 2077 for the device will be available when it launches.
If you’re picking one of these up, it will set you back $449.99 / £395.99. A Mario Kart World bundle is also available and will cost $499.99 / £429.99.
