I'm not into their games all that much, but I don't know too many studios acting as consumer-friendly as CDPR. So I fully expect them to bring a free update sooner or later. Probably 2026, together with some rerelease for Switch 2 for all the folks who didn't get the game yet.

It was all tongue and cheek, calm down people.



Witcher 3 runs at native 1080p, Ultra Quality, at some 30-35fps on equivalent SW2 level GPU. So indeed, straight PS4 port would probably be most cost efficient route.

CDPR, being CDPR, probably won't do just that (though I doubt they would handle the port themselves), they will probably leverage resolution to add some feature from Next Gen update, which indeed can be very taxing with all the RT thrown in.

It was just a weird comment since Switch 2 owners dont have to pay more for games.



Not sure if a patch will happen tbh at least not in the way the usual NSW2 editions are done as the Switch version is a complete redoing of the game in itself to run on the platform it'll likely be a case that they port one of the other versions over instead with enhanced features and just give those who have the Switch version a discount.

Only if there's a Switch 2 complete full physical release alongside the upgrade path because I don't own it, yet.

But seriously, I kinda don't expect it from them since they're clearly giving their energies towards the Cyperbunk2077 port for the moment.

That would have to come in like 2026 or later

As long as it's after Bayonetta 3's patch, (it needs it much more), then they are more than welcome to release it whenever they feel like, makes no difference to me :)

Wow. Reading the thread it's like people think CDPR are back out of good will mode, they were always a good will company with their intent but they are actively still trying to gain good will and not do any fuck ups or something that might be seen as negative. They can not do the PS5 and XSX patch for free and then charge on the Switch 2, the most they will do that is negative is not do it at all. 

Can they promise that Cyberpunk 2 or Witcher 4 will be on Switch 2 with their good intent?

Not doing something is rarely seen as negative. The idea is they just don't fuck up, if they put C2 or TW4 on Switch 2 and it runs like dog shit this is a fuck up, not putting it on there is no strain on PR.
