- Pragmata’s Switch 2 version has lighting downgrades, missing ambient occlusion, lower‑resolution shadow maps, and reduced global illumination compared to the PS5 version.
- Nintendo Switch 2 outputs a docked resolution of 1080p (internal rendering around 540p) and a portable internal resolution of roughly 360p, with image quality described as softer but cleaner than PS5.
- Capcom applied DLSS to the Switch 2 port, enabling an unlocked frame rate that fluctuates between 30‑40 fps in dense exterior scenes and the 50s in interior sections.
- Digital Foundry notes that hair rendering on Switch 2 uses a typical card‑based approximation, and that asset quality and screen‑space reflections are lower than on higher‑end consoles.
- Xbox Series S and Switch 2 versions are similar in performance, though Switch 2 has some advantages, according to the analysis.
Why it matters: Switch owners gain a flagship title that runs on their handheld, but the sub‑60 fps performance and visual downgrades mean a less fluid experience, while Capcom sacrifices graphical fidelity to fit the hardware. The trade‑off highlights the console’s limits versus the appeal of a current‑gen release.
