A new job listing for a Senior Compliance QA Analyst atCD Projekt Red, the studio best known forThe Witcher 3: Wild HuntandCyberpunk 2077, suggests that the developer’s future titles could be coming toNintendoconsoles.
Currently, the only CD Projekt Red title available on a Nintendo console is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for the Nintendo Switch. Yes, you cantechnically play Cyberpunk 2077 on the Switch, but it’s through the use of cloud streaming and doesn’t run natively from the console. As the Switch is now seven years old, the hardware inside of Nintendo’s massively popular console just isn’t up to scratch to handle a game like Cyberpunk 2077.

As spotted byGame Rant, a job listing for a Senior Compliance QA Analyst at CD Projekt Red includes a brief mention of Nintendo consoles. As part of the role’s daily responsibilities, the appropriate candidate must “develop a compliance QA guideline and framework, involving collaboration with outsourced QA partners, tailored to meet the certification standards of diverse platforms.” The job listing then lists the platforms as Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Apple.
Considering CD Projekt Red has worked with Nintendo previously to bring The Witcher 3 to the Switch, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the studios work together again in the future for upcoming titles. CD Projekt Red has a plethora of different projects in the works right now, including a remake of the original Witcher, a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 4, a new game set within The Witcher universe, a new Witcher trilogy, and a brand-new IP known as Project Hadar.
