Hori has expanded its Nintendo Switch 2 accessory range with a pair of officially licensed Cyberpunk 2077 products: a themed Horipad Turbo controller and an Adventure Pack carrying case. The accessories are available now through Best Buy, bringing a distinctly Night City-inspired look to players who own the game on Nintendo's current handheld-console hybrid.

The release is a natural fit for Cyberpunk 2077's presence on Switch 2. Having arrived as a launch title for the system, CD Projekt Red's open-world RPG is one of the major third-party games associated with the platform's early library. Hori's new hardware does not introduce entirely new product designs, but instead applies Cyberpunk 2077 artwork and color choices to existing Switch 2-focused accessories.

Pricing begins at $36.99 through Best Buy. At the time of the announcement, retail availability was limited to the United States and Canada, with no confirmed release plans for Europe or the UK.

A Samurai Carrying Case for Switch 2

The Cyberpunk 2077 Adventure Pack is the more immediately recognizable of the two releases. It uses imagery tied to Samurai, the fictional Night City rock band closely associated with Johnny Silverhand. That connection makes it an appropriate visual match for a game whose iconography extends far beyond its futuristic cityscape, from corporate branding and neon tech to punk music and rebellion.

Carrying cases are often among the easiest ways to personalize a handheld gaming setup, particularly for players who regularly take their system outside the home. The Adventure Pack gives Cyberpunk 2077 fans an officially branded storage option rather than a generic case decorated with unrelated game art. Its appeal is primarily aesthetic: it is designed for those who want their Switch 2 accessories to reflect the game's world and its most recognizable in-universe band.

There is a practical consideration for prospective buyers, however. Like many licensed accessories, the value proposition will likely depend on how strongly someone responds to the artwork. Players looking solely for storage features may find plenty of alternatives in the broader Switch 2 case market. The Cyberpunk version is aimed at fans who specifically want the Samurai treatment and official game branding.

The Horipad Turbo Takes a Transparent Yellow Direction

The Cyberpunk 2077 Horipad Turbo is the flashier item in the collection. It features a transparent yellow chassis, a design that suits the game's retro-futurist tone. Clear plastic hardware has long been associated with late-1990s and early-2000s electronics, and that visual language works especially well alongside a franchise built around futuristic technology filtered through an intentionally nostalgic lens.

Rather than attempting to resemble a standard black pro controller with a small logo added to the front, Hori has chosen a brighter color scheme that makes the pad stand out. The translucent casing evokes the kind of consumer tech that would not feel wholly out of place in Cyberpunk 2077's universe, even if the prominent Cyberpunk 2077 name printed on the accessories makes their real-world licensed status unmistakable.

For fans building a coordinated Switch 2 setup, that styling may be the key selling point. The controller and Adventure Pack offer two different takes on the game's identity: the case leans toward Samurai and Johnny Silverhand's rock-and-rebellion imagery, while the controller embraces bold, translucent hardware with a retro-tech feel.

What the Controller Includes

As a Cyberpunk 2077 edition of the existing Horipad Turbo, the controller carries over the underlying model's core features. It includes TMR sticks, programmable rear buttons, and a dedicated GameChat button. Those features position it as a more capable alternative to a basic controller, especially for players who value additional input options or want to tailor rear buttons to specific actions.

TMR stick technology is a notable inclusion for players paying close attention to controller hardware. Stick durability and responsiveness have become major concerns across modern gamepads, so the presence of TMR sticks may make the Horipad Turbo more appealing than a purely cosmetic licensed controller. Programmable back buttons can also be useful in games where players prefer to keep their thumbs on the sticks while accessing frequently used commands.

The dedicated GameChat button reflects Switch 2's social features and makes the pad more closely aligned with the system's current interface. For players who use GameChat regularly, having that control directly accessible on the controller could be more convenient than relying on a different input method during a session.

Still, the Cyberpunk 2077 Horipad Turbo is not positioned as a no-compromise premium controller. Its wireless battery is rated for up to 10 hours of play, which may be limiting for players who prefer long stretches between charges. It also lacks HD rumble 2 and vibration feedback found in some higher-end alternatives. Anyone considering the controller should weigh those omissions against its specialized styling, rear-button options, and stick hardware.

Style Is the Central Appeal

That balance between function and presentation is important to the entire release. Hori's latest Cyberpunk 2077 products are licensed editions of accessories that already exist in its catalog, rather than an all-new controller platform built from scratch around the game. In practical terms, buyers are choosing an established Hori design with franchise-specific visuals.

That is not necessarily a drawback. Licensed gaming hardware has always served a different purpose from plain, feature-maximized peripherals. A themed controller can be part controller, part collectible, and part display item. For Cyberpunk 2077 fans, especially those who played or intend to play the game on Switch 2, a transparent yellow pad and Samurai case can carry more personality than a similarly priced accessory in a neutral color.

At the same time, buyers seeking the longest battery life, the fullest haptics support, or the most extensive premium feature set should compare the Horipad Turbo with other Switch 2 controller options before making a decision. The Cyberpunk edition's identity is rooted in visual design and official franchise association. Its technical specification should be considered on its own merits rather than assumed to match every top-end controller on the market.

North American Availability for Now

Hori announced the accessories through its US social media presence, and Best Buy is carrying the products. In response to a question about European retail availability, Best Buy stated that its retail locations are currently limited to the United States and Canada. No indication was provided that the Cyberpunk 2077 collection will receive a broader rollout.

That leaves players in the UK and elsewhere waiting for a clearer answer. Hori products frequently reach markets outside the US, so an eventual expansion remains possible, but there is currently no confirmation to rely on. Fans outside North America should treat any future regional availability as unannounced until Hori or an authorized retailer provides details.

The limited initial retail footprint may be frustrating for collectors, particularly because themed hardware often attracts buyers who want a matching set before stock becomes difficult to find. For now, the confirmed route is Best Buy in the US and Canada, beginning at $36.99.

A Timely Addition to the Switch 2 Library

Cyberpunk 2077 has become an important showcase title for Switch 2's third-party support, and official peripherals help reinforce that connection. The game's move to a Nintendo platform is significant on its own, while this accessory line gives fans another way to make it part of their broader console setup.

The collection will not be for everyone. The controller's battery estimate and missing HD rumble 2 and vibration feedback may steer some players toward other options, while the overt Cyberpunk 2077 branding may be more conspicuous than fans who prefer subtle game references would like. But the overall concept is clear: Hori is offering familiar Switch 2 accessory formats with a look tailored to Night City.

For players who want a functional controller with TMR sticks and programmable rear inputs, or a carry case built around Samurai imagery, the new releases provide official options that lean hard into Cyberpunk 2077's visual identity. And for those outside the United States and Canada, the next question is whether Hori's neon-yellow controller and Samurai pack will eventually make their way to local retailers.
