The Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 version received update 2.5, tied to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, on October 27, 2026 — and the start on the console has not been smooth for some players. Reports published after the update describe crashes, loading errors, performance drops and profile and save glitches, with some players calling the version “unplayable” after the patch. It is important to mark the status of this information: so far, these are player reports and one editorial hands-on test, not a problem confirmed by the developer for all users.
Nintendo Life says it tested the updated version and confirms bugs, including crashes, and cites reports of loading, performance, profile and save problems. God is a Geek reports the same picture — crashes, save and loading problems — and notes that, as of October 28, CD Projekt Red had not publicly commented on the issues nor announced a hotfix. Experiences are not uniform, however: some reports indicate the game remains playable, with occasional glitches, suggesting more than one isolated problem rather than a single identical fault for everyone.
Update 2.5 had arrived on October 22 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Mac, and only later for Switch 2 — a delay the coverage attributes to the extra work needed on Nintendo's console version. As detailed in Geekiki's previous article on the update's arrival on Switch 2, the patch adds dual-wielding pistols, cross-platform mods and the Clampdown quest, set before the events of Edgerunners 2, whose ten episodes premiered on Netflix on October 20.
For Switch 2 players, the practical advice is caution: wait for an official statement from CD Projekt Red before assuming how widespread the problem is — and, if you run into issues, recording what happened may help the developer identify the cases. We will update this article when there is an official response or a fix announcement.
