Overview
- MachineGames confirmed the Switch 2 version targets 1080p docked and 720p handheld with dynamic scaling and DLSS upscaling, locks at 30 FPS, and trims free-roaming NPCs in one area.
- Previewers say the port looks strong in handheld and even sharper when docked, delivering a cinematic presentation that showcases detailed characters and rich lighting.
- Large open zones show more frame drops and texture pop-in on Switch 2, while linear, story-led sections hold steadier performance according to multiple hands-on reports.
- Several outlets report jarring switches between gameplay and cutscenes, and they describe the whip’s motion controls as requiring big wrist snaps that feel imprecise, prompting a return to standard inputs.
- The Switch 2 release is set for May 12 with a full cartridge edition listed at $69.99 / £59.99, and some previews suggest further optimization could follow after launch.
