There is speculation that upcoming CD Projekt Red games could be released on Nintendo systems, despite past doubts due to hardware limitations. Many fans have hoped to see games like Cyberpunk 2077 on the Nintendo Switch, but this has been considered unlikely due to optimization challenges and the Switch's capabilities. However, recent developments suggest that CD Projekt Red is focused on improving game optimization, as evidenced by its decision to switch engines for the Cyberpunk sequel and current job listings that hint at compatibility with Nintendo consoles.

Cyberpunk 2077 faced significant optimization issues at launch, leading to the exclusion of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from receiving the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty expansion. CD Projekt Red's job listing for a Senior Compliance QA Analyst includes Nintendo consoles, indicating that future titles such as Project Polaris and Orion might be considered for new platforms, potentially including a successor to the Switch. However, given past struggles with last-gen hardware, it is more likely that the next CD Projekt Red games will target newer systems.

Analysts and fans anticipate that a Switch successor will be capable of meeting the performance demands of systems like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Many gamers are hopeful that the next Nintendo console will surpass other portable systems, such as the Steam Deck, which can play demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 natively. While the Switch managed a port of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, players are eager to see future CD Projekt Red releases, including sequels for Cyberpunk and The Witcher, available on a more powerful Nintendo platform. The job listing suggests that CD Projekt Red is open to expanding its games to a wider range of systems, aligning with fan desires for greater platform availability.
