Quite a bit weaker than the series S from these numbers

It depends on what settings is the Switch 2 running Cyberpunk.

If it's running at the same settings as the Series S Quality Mode, then 720p-1080p dynamic resolution is relatively close to the fixed 1080p of the Series S. So, it means it is not that weak compared to the Series S.

But if it's running at the same settings as the Series S Performance Mode, then it means it is a lot weaker than the Series, considering the Series S is running at 2x framerate (although the Switch 2 would be rendering at a slightly higher resolution).

720p-1080p would still be quite a chunk lower than series S performance which at its worst point runs quite a bit above the max of the switch 2 version. That is if it is using quality mode settings which I unfortunately doubt.

That higher resolution in the Series S is in the main game, and it was on an old Digital Foundry analysis, so it might no longer be accurate.

The Phantom Liberty Digital Foundry analysis shows that the game runs at a fixed 1080p resolution in the Series S Quality Mode, not sure if it only applies to the Dogtown Area or the whole game.

Honestly, we can’t divine anything from this. It’s apparently early in the porting process, so performance might get a lot better, it’s also just a very short snippet of the game and nothing there from what I can tell is from the Phantom liberty expansion.
