Reanimal Nintendo Switch 2 vs Xbox Series S Graphics Comparison

Hardly the game we need comparisons to but they look basically identical in a few shots I think switch 2 looks better, but in some the Xbox does.
Regardless it's a great game and people will enjoy it

Big graint of salt with this youtuber, but based we see there..... SW2 has no shadows but also reduced or no AO, a lot less vegetation, and reduced atmospheric and environmental effects. On the other hand, SW2 possibly has some better image quality thanks to DLSS when still, but not so noticeably in motion.

In principle, this is typical in SW2 vs XSS comparisons, but there's a striking detail... XSS doesn't seem to have a 60fps mode?? It clearly has the capacity to do so, judging by what we've seen in quality mode. The only thing I can think of is that SW2 is operating at an ultra-low resolution (~400p) and thanks to DLSS the image quality is not grotesque or horrible, while for XSS, a resolution of that size or higher with TAA would be no acceptable.
 
That's not a good comparison. Who is this YouTube channel? lol

Pretty sure they are showing the switch 2 performance mode which lacks effects.
 
Thats the performance mode (targeting 60fps), the Quality mode (30fps) has shadows, the Series S lacks of performance mode like the Switch 2. Both games running at 30 fps, the Switch 2 has better IQ.
no that screen is from quality mode. he compared both. shadows and effects are much lower quality or missing on switch 2 even in quality mode its easy to spot, also the 60fps hardly hits 60fps and broken, drops to 40fps are common. even quality mode is a unstable 30fps that drops below 30fps and terrible frame pacing.
