Patch 2.3 Arrives June 26
CD Projekt Red has officially announced Patch 2.3 for Cyberpunk 2077, launching on Thursday, June 26, 2025. The update-teased during the Switch 2 livestream-promises quality-of-life improvements, performance tweaks, rebalanced gear, and UI cleanup. More specific patch notes will follow closer to release.
Switch 2 Becomes the Portable King
IGN’s performance test reveals outstanding results on the Nintendo Switch 2 for Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition (with Phantom Liberty included):
| Mode | Docked Res | Handheld Res | FPS | Extras |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quality | ~1080p | ~810p | 30 | DLSS |
| Performance | 540–1080p | 360–720p | 40 | VRR masks dips |
IGN/NeoGAF and Wikipedia note VRR at up to 120 Hz and DLSS support. Digital Foundry confirms FPS dips into mid-20s during heavy Phantom Liberty scenes in Quality mode-but overall image and performance still beat Steam Deck.
Steam Deck & PS4 Compared
Steam Deck
- Requires medium/low settings at 720p with FSR to achieve – 30 fps .
- Higher frame rates demand more compromises.
PS4 / PS4 Pro
Last update was Patch 1.61; runs at 720–900p with 20–30 fps, long load times, and no Phantom Liberty.

What to Expect in Patch 2.3
Although full patch notes aren’t live yet, based on official CDPR comments and previous updates, expect:
- Quest–blocking bug fixes
- UI polish (menus, HUD tweaks)
- Iconic weapon rebalancing
- Performance improvements—potentially benefiting all platforms, including Switch 2
Final Takeaways
- Mark your calendar – Patch 2.3 launches free on June 26, 2025 (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2).
- Switch 2 is the best portable way to play – DLSS, VRR, and Phantom Liberty on cartridge give it a clear edge.
- Steam Deck is solid but second – Good performance with FSR, but lags behind visually and stably.
- PS4 is outdated – Last-gen support ended in late 2024.
