YouTuber Gets Cyberpunk To Run On Switch

TwitchBeat - December 19, 2020

The newly popular game Cyberpunk 2077 was without a doubt one of the most anticipated releases of the year, considering that people were gearing up for the stunning release from CD Projekt Red. After a series of delays, people seemed to be gearing up for disappointment, and their predictions were met, when upon the release, many PS4 and Xbox One owners found an array of issues, including weird glitches, low frame rates and poor resolution.

YouTuber Nintendrew has managed to get the new release Cyberpunk 2077 to run on his Nintendo Switch, and some people think it could even be better than the PS4 which has experienced an array of issues since its launch. Nintendrew showed viewers that it’s possible to get a version of Android running on a hacked Switch due to a shared processor, and explained the process of securing additional parts for a low cost that would allow users to modify their Switch.

He was able to get the game to run at full speed on Nintendo Switch in a handheld version, with the joycons fully operable. It was also playable at 1080p when docking the console and playing it via a TV. He also issued a warning to any viewer who might be tempted to try and take Cyberpunk on the go with them using this method, as the use of modifications has the potential to brick the device.
