Jealous that your peers have the latest PlayStation or Xbox consoles or the high end gaming PCs that brought the best Cyberpunk experience? Do you want to show some bragging rights that your Switch is better than the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions of Cyberpunk?
Well guess what, these questions can be answered since you can play Cyberpunk 2077 via Nintendo Switch. How is this even possible? YouTuber Nintendrew published a video, providing his methods. This will surely bring delight to your holidays.
He considered three important factors. First is performance, where he mentioned that the graphics should look better than those from the PS4 and Xbox One. Second is compatibility, where the game's controls apply to the Switch. Third is accessibility, where the player isn't forced to go on a spending spree.
Applying these factors comes the ultimate test.
Nintendrew mentioned that the Switch's processor is the ultimate key. The device uses a personalized version of Nvidia Tegra X1 which opens the possibility for cross-platform compatibility. In order for this to be occur, players are required to mod their Switch and acquire additional parts like the RCM jig and a payload injector that are worth $20.00-$25.00.
Once this is done, you need to purchase the game via Google Stadia. Stadia even recognizes the Xbox controls from your joystick which means you wouldn't need to fix the game's controls.
Now that the basics have been covered, some of you might ask if it's possible to transition to the bigger screen when the Switch is placed on a dock. The answer is yes and it even boasts the same graphical output to its Series X and PS5 counterpart.
Though playing on the Switch may seem enticing, there are drawbacks as well. Since this is a modded feature, incorporating non-Switch games may lead to the dreaded Switch brick issue. Though the risk is eminent, the power of playing any cross-platform game to your Switch may produce the best gaming experiences in your life. Nintendrew mentioned at the tail-end of the video the limitless possibilities caused by modders and cloud gaming services like Stadia, Nvidia GeForce Now, and Xbox Cloud Gaming, giving more power to Switch users.
Perhaps this already confirms that the future belongs to handheld devices.
