We checked out Switch 2 in action. Cyberpunk 2077 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Nintendo's new console
Here's the first footage of the games launching on the Nintendo Switch 2. See how Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom look.

Nintendo Switch 2 is already with us, and players are probably wondering, above all, how the new platform will handle demanding games. We decided to check how The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will perform in a special edition for the Switch 2, as well as Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition.
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is one of the more technically demanding games, including the extensive Phantom Liberty expansion. Its release on Nintendo Switch 2 is a huge surprise and a testament to the ambition of both CD Projekt RED and the Japanese giant itself. Porting such a complex title to a platform like the Switch 2, however, wasn't an "enormous effort," as the studio admitted.
The video below shows Cyberpunk 2077 on the Nintendo Switch 2 in docked mode, running on a 4K TV. The gameplay recording was made using an external capture card, which captured the image in Full HD quality. The selected graphic preset is Quality Mode.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The second video material showcases The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. All configurations are the same as in the case of CP 2077, except for the graphic preset. This has been set to Performance Mode. In the video below, we can see a game using a paid upgrade that unlocks the full potential of the title on Switch 2, including graphical improvements.
Of course, we have to remember it's a hybrid console and there are some compromises, but the first impressions are promising.
- New update for Cyberpunk 2077 delayed. CD Projekt Red wants to make sure they're truly satisfied with it
- Drag x Drive could suffer the same fate as another Nintendo Switch game
- Steam is dealing with spam. Valve’s platform has been flooded with games stolen from itch.io
- Before The Witcher 3, adult games were „mostly associated with two things.” Pawel Sasko says the RPG is „part of a broader process”
- A player with two thumbs on one hand ran into an accessibility issue with their Steam Deck, so the Reddit community came to the rescue
