Hori Releases Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Controller and Adventure Pack Case

Night City has made a detour to Nintendo hardware. Hori has released a Cyberpunk 2077-themed Horipad Turbo controller and Adventure Pack carrying case for Switch 2, with the line now listed through Best Buy in North America. Prices start at $36.99, though shoppers should check the individual product listings for the configuration and current price that applies to each item.

These are not newly engineered accessories built from the ground up for Cyberpunk 2077. Instead, they are themed editions of Hori’s existing Switch 2 products. That distinction matters: the appeal is primarily the visual treatment, while the controller’s feature set remains that of the Horipad Turbo platform. For players who want their dock-side setup or travel bag to match the game, however, the designs make a much stronger first impression than a standard black peripheral.

A translucent yellow controller built for the Cyberpunk mood

The Cyberpunk 2077 Horipad Turbo uses a transparent yellow chassis. It is an especially appropriate direction for a game whose world mixes futuristic technology with the tactile, stylized design language of older consumer electronics. A translucent shell does more than change the color of a controller: it lets the internal structure become part of the object’s appearance, producing the kind of techno-industrial look that clean, opaque plastic cannot quite replicate.

That aesthetic also gives the controller a deliberately retro-futurist quality. Retro-futurism describes a vision of tomorrow shaped by ideas and objects from an earlier era. Here, the transparent plastic recalls late-1990s hardware trends while the bright yellow color pushes the design toward Cyberpunk 2077’s loud, high-contrast visual identity. It is a sensible meeting point between the game’s fiction and the physical accessory, rather than simply placing character art on a conventional pad.

There is one more literal element in the branding: “Cyberpunk 2077” is printed prominently on the accessories. That makes their licensed identity unmistakable, but it also means the products are clearly merchandise rather than props that could plausibly have been pulled from a Night City apartment or vendor stall. Buyers will likely see that as a matter of taste. Some collectors and fans want the title and official branding front and center; others may prefer a subtler in-universe design.

What the Horipad Turbo offers—and leaves out

Under the themed shell, the controller includes TMR sticks, programmable rear buttons and a GameChat button. Those specifications provide a useful baseline for anyone deciding whether the controller is a display piece, a backup pad, or a realistic everyday option.

TMR sticks explained

TMR stands for tunneling magnetoresistance. In practical controller-shopping terms, it refers to a stick-sensing approach that uses magnetic behavior rather than relying on the same style of physical contact associated with traditional potentiometer-based stick assemblies. The supplied details identify TMR sticks as a feature of this model, but they do not establish long-term performance or make a specific durability promise. It is best treated as a notable component choice, not a guarantee about how any individual controller will age.

Back buttons can be useful, if you will actually map them

Programmable back buttons give players extra inputs that can be assigned for faster access. Their value depends on the game and on personal habits. They can be handy when a player wants to activate a function without moving a thumb away from a stick, but they are less important for anyone who prefers a straightforward, standard button layout. They are still a meaningful inclusion on a controller positioned as a style-focused licensed item, since they keep it from being purely decorative.

The built-in GameChat button is another direct Switch 2-oriented convenience. Rather than presenting a generic controller with themed art, Hori’s design includes a dedicated control for that system function. For households and friends who use GameChat regularly, direct access may matter more than additional cosmetic flourishes.

Battery life and feedback are the important trade-offs

The stated wireless battery life is up to 10 hours. “Up to” is important wording: it represents a maximum rather than a promise that every session reaches that figure. Even at that maximum, it is a comparatively modest figure for players who want a controller to last through long weekend sessions or multiple evenings before recharging. Planning to keep a cable nearby may be part of living with this model.

The Horipad Turbo also does not include HD rumble 2 or vibration feedback found on more premium controller alternatives. Rumble is the controller’s physical feedback system: it communicates events through vibration, such as impacts or environmental effects. Its absence will be more significant to players who value tactile feedback as part of play, and less significant to those prioritizing button layout, rear-button mapping or the Cyberpunk design.

That creates a fairly clear purchasing equation. The controller has features beyond a basic pad—TMR sticks, back buttons and GameChat access—but it is not positioned as the fullest-featured Switch 2 controller available. The appeal is the combination of recognizable functionality and themed presentation, with compromises in battery endurance and haptics that shoppers should weigh before assuming a licensed design is also a no-compromise upgrade.

The Adventure Pack puts Samurai front and center

The matching Adventure Pack carrying case uses Samurai imagery, referencing the band associated with Johnny Silverhand. It is the more overtly character-and-world-facing item in the pair, leaning on an established symbol from Cyberpunk 2077 rather than the controller’s material-and-color approach. For a fan assembling a coordinated Switch 2 travel kit, that makes the case the obvious companion piece.

A carrying case has a more focused job than a controller: it needs to make transport easier while giving the system a layer of protection. The available product details do not specify storage capacity, compartment layout, materials, drop protection or what accessories it accommodates. Shoppers who need room for cables, cartridges, headphones or other equipment should therefore verify the retailer’s exact listing before treating the Cyberpunk artwork as the only consideration.

Its value is likely clearest for fans who carry their Switch 2 often and want the exterior of their kit to say something more specific than “generic gaming bag.” Samurai is an especially logical motif because it gives the case a visual connection to the game’s world without requiring the translucent-plastic treatment that defines the controller.

North American availability, with no confirmed wider rollout

For now, availability is limited. In response to a question about European retail, Best Buy indicated that its retail locations are limited to the United States and Canada. There is no confirmed release plan for the Cyberpunk 2077 accessories outside those markets in the supplied information.

That does not prove that a wider launch will never happen. Hori products do reach markets outside the United States, but no timing, retailer or regional availability has been confirmed for this themed line. UK and European fans should avoid treating a possible future release as a promise and should be cautious with imports, where shipping, regional support and returns can alter the practical cost of an accessory.

Who these accessories are for

The Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 range makes the most sense for a particular buyer: someone who already wants a case or secondary controller and values the game’s visual identity enough to accept the product-specific compromises. The controller’s yellow translucent finish gives it a distinctive look, while the Samurai case offers a recognizable franchise symbol for travel use.

Choose the controller for: TMR sticks, programmable rear buttons, a GameChat button and a bold translucent Cyberpunk look.
Keep its limits in mind: wireless use is rated at up to 10 hours, and HD rumble 2 and vibration feedback are absent.
Choose the case for: a matching Samurai-themed way to carry a Switch 2, while confirming the exact storage details before buying.
Check availability carefully: the confirmed retail footprint is the United States and Canada, with no wider launch specified.

There is a broader appeal to accessories that use older hardware aesthetics to dress modern devices. The same affection for compact, tactile gaming objects can be seen in projects such as this papercraft mini arcade with toothpick controls, though Hori’s line takes that impulse in a licensed, mass-market direction. Here, transparent plastic and Samurai artwork are doing the work of transforming familiar Switch 2 accessory formats into fan merchandise.

For Cyberpunk 2077 players, the practical question is not whether the designs fit the game—they plainly do—but whether the styling outweighs the missing premium feedback features and limited battery expectation. Hori’s answer is a matched controller-and-case set that favors personality, recognizable franchise art and a retro-tech silhouette over an all-features-included specification sheet.
