Elden Ring on Switch 2 Surprises with Solid Performance but Not Without Flaws

Eurogamer tests Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Switch 2 and finds it runs surprisingly well in docked mode at around 30 FPS, with occasional frame drops during fast boss fights like the Red Wolf of Radagon. The game looks nearly as good as on PC and is generally smooth, but later bosses and the Realm of Shadow DLC could push the hardware further, leaving notable caveats for continued play despite two new starting classes and the promise of a solid handheld port.

Activision’s Call of Duty lands on Switch 2 as part of a 10-year Nintendo deal; early impressions of Modern Warfare 4 on the console show a port that prioritizes frame rate over resolution—about 60fps docked with some hitching and heavy artifacting, but better perceived in handheld mode, with DLSS integration noted and cross-play/final performance still to be confirmed ahead of the October 23, 2026 release.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered on Nintendo Switch 2 offers a portable, nostalgia-fueled take on the classic RPG, with Unreal Engine 5 upgrades that sharpen visuals and loading but still show frame-rate dips and darker handheld lighting; PC modding remains a major advantage, but for on-the-go players this port provides a compelling way to wander Cyrodiil with charming quirks intact.

Switch 2 Elevates Xenoblade Chronicles 2 with 60fps and Refined Upscaling

Digital Foundry’s tech analysis of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on Nintendo Switch 2 finds a mostly 60fps experience with notable image quality gains over the Switch 1 version. The game appears to run at 720p internal with temporal upscaling (or a similar upscaler) to a 4K‑like final image, while handheld mode delivers a near‑1080p output with an apparently lower internal render (~468p) but still maintains 60fps with occasional frame drops. Docked Switch 1 ran at 30fps with traversal/cutscene dips; Switch 2 uses double‑buffered vsync, which can yield occasional 33ms frame deliveries when over budget. Some minor handheld artifacts and line issues are noted in the analysis.

Digimon Story Time Stranger Switch 2: Solid handheld port with performance caveats

Digimon Story: Time Stranger on Switch 2 offers two modes (Quality and Performance) with 4K/30 docked or 1080p/30 handheld in Quality and around 1080p/60 handheld in Performance. It’s a surprisingly strong portable version, but it suffers from jagged edges, softer textures, and inconsistent frame pacing, with 60fps not consistently stable even after patch 1.2.1. It remains cheaper than PS5/Xbox/PC versions and shows potential for further improvements through updates.
