He says that the game &#8220;might be too heavy&#8221; for Switch, but goes on to note that the team thought the same thing about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/witcher_3_wild_hunt_-_complete_edition\"><strong>The Witcher 3<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; a game which has now been successfully ported to the hybrid machine.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Not as far as I know. Not yet. I don\u2019t know if Cyberpunk 2077 would work on the Nintendo Switch. It might be too heavy for it. But then, we did put Witcher 3 on it and we thought that would be too heavy too but somehow we pulled it off.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>Last year, Mamais was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2019\/10\/cd_projekt_red_probably_wont_port_cyberpunk_2077_to_nintendo_switch\">asked a similar question<\/a> regarding a potential Switch port.
