CD Projekt RED has confirmed that its upcoming title, Cyberpunk 2077, will utilize NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology on the Nintendo Switch 2. The game will employ DLSS in both docked and handheld modes to enhance graphics quality.
NVIDIA’s machine learning-based upscaler is designed to produce high-quality images by feeding lower-resolution frames with history from prior frames and other data into a neural network, which then reconstructs the image. The Switch 2’s GPU includes machine learning tensor cores, making it an ideal platform for DLSS technology.
The game will feature different graphics modes, including quality and performance toggles for handheld and docked versions. When connected to a TV, players can choose between a 30fps quality mode and a 40fps performance mode, both using 1080p as the output resolution with dynamic resolution scaling and DLSS.
In contrast, the handheld mode will output a lower-resolution image, dropping to 720p at 120Hz, while maintaining a target of 40fps. The game’s developers have confirmed that “scaling can range from 2x and up per axis,” allowing for more flexibility in terms of GPU load.
This marks the first known use of DLSS technology in a launch title, with CD Projekt RED opting for the older convolutional neural network version rather than NVIDIA’s freshly minted DLSS 4.0 transformer model.
