CD Projekt RED is very satisfied with sales of Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2

When it launched in June 2025, the Switch 2 got several games from third-party publishers. The most ambitious and successful port was undoubtedly that of Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition.
In an interview with The Game Business, Michał Nowakowski, co-CEO of CD Projekt RED, discussed the commercial performance of this version. He said he was "very happy" with how Cyberpunk 2077 sold on Nintendo’s console.
"We were the best-selling third-party game on Switch 2 for a while, I think, when we launched. In fact, we were overselling quite a few Nintendo games – their own games – with the exception of course Mario Kart.
I think that was a success on its own. We were very happy by the way, with the sales numbers on the platform. Made money on it, broke even. We’re in the positive. It is a peculiar platform because it’s, you know, it was at its launch moment, so the install base was not as huge, so we never expected numbers of, I don’t know, Steam or something like that.
But we did very well. And actually the game continues to sell. We’re happy. And the most important bit is that the players are happy. I believe Nintendo was very happy as well. Everything we heard from them was praised. They were also very impressed with how the game performed on the hardware – the special features of Cyberpunk on Switch 2 and so on, so wait and see for The Witcher now.
This was a bit of a test for us because this was literally the first time ever for us to be on the platform at launch, so we kind of didn’t know what to expect. But we liked the hardware so much and the pitch that Nintendo had overall for the whole ecosystem that we decided to give it a shot. And I think it paid off. We’re happy."
