Switch 2's Elden Ring Tarnished Edition proves big open-world games fit handheld play

The Tarnished Edition of Elden Ring arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 with Shadow of the Erdtree, delivering a port that mostly preserves the game's scale while running on the upgraded hardware. It performs well in both portable and docked modes, though textures are somewhat softened and occasional long loads appear. Overall, the open-world action remains engaging enough to make Switch 2 a strong platform for FromSoftware’s work as fans await The Duskbloods.
