Elden Ring on Switch 2: A Functional but Compromised Port

Game Informer's Kyle Hilliard finds Elden Ring on Switch 2 playable in docked mode, with stable performance that doesn’t hit 60 FPS and noticeable compromises in the open world (camera handling and Torrent movement). It’s a competent port compared to some other Switch efforts, but clearly inferior to PS5/Xbox/PC versions. If Switch 2 is your only option, you’ll get the Elden Ring experience with some caveats; otherwise, play elsewhere for the best fidelity.

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.

Elden Ring Tarnished Edition Shines on Switch 2 with Stable 30FPS and New Content

Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 bundles the base game with the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, adds two new starting classes (Heavy Knight and Ides Knight), and introduces Torrent customization and new armor options. The port targets a solid 30fps in both handheld and docked modes and looks strikingly close to PS5 visuals, with occasional minor hiccups and some Joy-Con precision challenges. It’s a polished, expansive open-world experience that remains accessible to newcomers while offering plenty of micro-details for longtime players.

BigXthaPlug Delivers at Iowa State Fair Despite Texas Arrest

Texas rapper BigXthaPlug performed at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand a day after a Dallas-area arrest on charges including driving while intoxicated, marijuana possession, and unlicensed firearm possession, and appeared unfazed as fans sang along to his hits. The set featured high energy and crowd interaction but tended to stay in one vibe, leaving some attendees wanting more as the show closed with “The Largest” and a tease of unreleased music.

Duskbloods Switch 2 Test Struggles with Input Lag and Frame Drops

Initial impressions of The Duskbloods on Switch 2 show uneven performance: input lag in handheld mode hinders combat, while docked play generally hits 40–60fps with occasional choppiness and 1080p visuals. Developers still have time to optimize before release.

STALKER 2 Patch 2.0 Boosts FPS with UE5.5 Tweaks

Early benchmarks for STALKER 2 Patch 2.0 show a meaningful 10–20 FPS uplift (about 10 FPS in less populated areas and up to 20 FPS in dense NPC zones) on an i7-14700F with an RTX 4080, aided by Unreal Engine 5.5. Visual changes include a somewhat more saturated world and improved shadows; however, stutters persist and it won’t run great on very low-end hardware.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra review: premium foldable power comes with a premium price

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is a premium foldable that feels like a pocket tablet—brighter, crease-minimized, and fast, with a 5,000 mAh battery, 45W charging, and a top-tier triple camera led by a 200MP sensor, plus on-device Galaxy AI features—yet its $2,100 price, a protruding camera hump, and uneven AI tools temper its appeal for all but power users.

Windows 11 boosts app launch speed with new Low Latency Profile

Microsoft’s Low Latency Profile, previously used to speed up shell elements like the Start menu, is now active for app launches after the August 2026 KB5121003 update (Build 26200.9168+). It spikes CPU clocks to near-maximum for 1–3 seconds when opening apps, delivering noticeably faster startup without meaningful battery or thermal impact. The rollout is gradual, but you can check with tools like HWiNFO or Task Manager or force-enable it with ViVeTool if it hasn’t reached your device yet (restart required). This move is part of broader Windows 11 performance optimizations, including memory and UI improvements.

Microsoft’s Windows 11 KB5101684 update adds reliability and performance improvements across versions 24H2/25H2/26H1. It enhances Explorer-related tasks (Jump Lists, recent files), file sharing, and Task View, plus lock/login screen stability and startup responsiveness for Start Menu/Taskbar. The post-update cleanup is lighter, making systems feel faster immediately after install. While benefits are claimed for all RAM levels, devices with 8GB RAM or less should notice the biggest gains in responsiveness.
