Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Update Buggy: Players Say It's 2020 Again

The Edgerunners 2 update for Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 has launched with crashes, loading issues, and save problems, prompting players to joke it's a throwback to the game's disastrous 2020 debut.

The Edgerunners 2 update for Cyberpunk 2077 has landed on Switch 2, but it's not exactly a smooth ride. According to Nintendo Life, players are reporting a whole bunch of issues, from crashes and loading failures to performance hiccups and even profile and save file weirdness. Some are saying the 2.5 patch has made the Switch 2 version "completely unplayable," and others are joking that it's a blast from the past—specifically, the disastrous 2020 launch of Cyberpunk 2077.

Nintendo Life also checked out the update themselves and confirmed that yes, there are definitely some bugs, including crashes. That's rough, especially for a game that's already had a rocky history on Nintendo hardware.

But here's the good news: CD Projekt Red is usually pretty quick to squash these kinds of post-launch bugs. The studio has been through the wringer before—Cyberpunk 2077's initial release was infamous for its issues—so it's likely they're already digging into player reports and prepping a patch to fix any major glitches.

So if you're diving into Night City on your Switch 2 and running into trouble, don't panic just yet. Give it a little time, and hopefully CDPR will have things smoothed out soon. After all, they've had plenty of practice turning a rough launch into a comeback story.
