CD Projekt Red doesn't want another compromise port.

Yigsoft, the studio co-developing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered alongside CDPR, says the original Switch release required significant sacrifices to run at all. For the Switch 2 version, its technical architect said the team started from the PC build instead of the first Switch port, taking advantage of Nintendo's far more capable hardware.
