They did the absolutely botched PC port of Horizon: Zero Dawn that Nixxes and Guerrilla themselves had to step in and fix, so... good luck Switch bros.

Virtous handled Dying Light and Nier Automata versions for the Switch which are some of the best ports available on system. If they put the same care into this Switch 2 port of Elden Ring it should be more than fine.

 

[Kotaro]

I hope ER Switch-2 version got extra content, Nintendo deserve it

Nah, it's in good hands. Their Nier Automata port on Switch was the stuff of legends. It had a higher resolution than the PS4 version and while some textures were noticeably lowered it ran at an extremely smooth 30fps.

 

[Aldric]

Yeah I always thought that Elden Ring would be the Switch 2's equivalent of Skyrim for the first Switch. Wouldn't be surprised if we saw it in the reveal trailer.

 

[Robb]

Sure. I’ve been thinking this would be one of the most obvious games to get a Switch 2 port early on.

Looking forward to seeing how it performs.

 

[Fabieter]

I expect most third party games on switch.

 

[March Climber]

Now I wonder if the Switch 2 edition will have a steady 60fps compared to the other consoles.

 

[RodriGames40]

Now I wonder if the Switch 2 edition will have a steady 60fps compared to the other consoles.

I believe the backwards compatibility versions are locked 60 right? With some luck we might get the PS4 version with an stable framerate as well.

 

[RoboFu]

Now I wonder if the Switch 2 edition will have a steady 60fps compared to the other consoles.

Definitive version for sure.

 

[adamsapple]

Now I wonder if the Switch 2 edition will have a steady 60fps compared to the other consoles.

If it's a different studio porting it, it probably will and even if it has a 30fps mode, will have proper frame pacing.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Have it ready as a launch title.

 

[March Climber]

I believe the backwards compatibility versions are locked 60 right? With some luck we might get the PS4 version with an stable framerate as well.

I played the PS4 version on PS5 but it still had slight hiccups and framerate dips. Not often enough to be annoying, but they were still there.

 

[Kings Field]

Day 1

 

[Mister Wolf]

Looking forward to the DF video versus the PS4 Pro version.

 

[Fake]

If NS2 get both Elden Ring and GTAV will be the ultimate console.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

So full price just to play a 3+ years old game at 60FPS?

 

[Mister Wolf]

So full price just to play a 3+ years old game at 60FPS?

To play it on the toilet.

 

[cireza]

Now I wonder if the Switch 2 edition will have a steady 60fps compared to the other consoles.

It's going to be 30fps. You need to lower these expectations or you are in for disappointment.

 

[RodriGames40]

I played the PS4 version on PS5 but it still had slight hiccups and framerate dips. Not often enough to be annoying, but they were still there.

Ah, I see... Then we might just get an unlocked framerate like all the current gen consoles, 40-50 fps or so.

 

[Skifi28]

I hope ER Switch-2 version got extra content, Nintendo deserve it

Why?

 

[ADiTAR]

Hope they can bring more color into it while their at it.

 

[Deerock71]

Another game announcement before hardware announcement.

 

[Mr Hyde]

If it releases on launch day Switch 2 is in for a ride.

 

[TGO]

Another game announcement before hardware announcement.

It's like the opposite of Sony

 

[fallingdove]

I expect most third party games on switch.

Most old 3rd party games maybe. I don’t know that devs will be willing to try and put Series/PS5/PS6 games on the console.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

To play it on the toilet.

I already do on a Steamdeck.

 

[Fabieter]

Most old 3rd party games maybe. I don’t know that devs will be willing to try and put Series/PS5/PS6 games on the console.

We already saw more third party games on switch 1 than most people expected. I dont know about ps6 games but o expect most of ps5 games.

 

[Sw0pDiller]

Switch is supposed to have ps4 like gpu power? Game should run pretty good. Still waiting for ps5 pro upgrade News.

 

[blacktout]

I hope ER Switch-2 version got extra content, Nintendo deserve it

If they are truly going to brand it as a "Definitive Edition," usually that implies that the DLC will be included, though they'll probably also release it on other consoles at the same time if that's the case.

In terms of Nintendo-exclusive content, history suggests that it'll either get some exclusive items/costumes (probably Zelda-themed) or nothing.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Amazing and original

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Are we sure this isn’t just Elden Ring boss music for Nintendo Alarmo?

 

[Draugoth]

A bunch of games from past consoles will be on Switch 2 for sure

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Nintendo wants every game on their platform. Every game. If anyone thinks they don’t they are mistaken. Of course there’s a desire somewhere, somehow to get one or the best-selling games of the past 5 years on the new Nintendo platform.

Rinse and repeat for any major game that’s not currently available/possible on Switch.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Switch is supposed to have ps4 like gpu power? Game should run pretty good. Still waiting for ps5 pro upgrade News.

PS4 tech is 10+ years old. So that kind of comparison isn’t super helpful/accurate.

Think of current-gen tech/approach but with heavy concessions for battery life and power draw, owing to being a portable system, and needing to be able to make at least some profit on a unit at a $400 MSRP.

It’ll certainly have graphics that exceed the PS4/Xbox One gen, plus some nice modern tech things, such as super-fast storage, AI upscaling, etc.

[SJRB]

Imagine depriving yourself of one of the greatest games of all time for almost 4 yours only to play it on a Switch 2, lmao.

 

[Icymanipulator]

I hope ER Switch-2 version got extra content, Nintendo deserve it

There will be tired versions of Links shield and master sword in the game, like many other uninspired Nintendo ports.

 

[tommib]

It will run as good as the vanilla PS4 version. My 2 cents.

 

[N0S]

And I'll buy and finish it again.

 

[SJRB]

I hope ER Switch-2 version got extra content, Nintendo deserve it

Nintendo stans are the goofiest dudes on the planet, lmao

Don't forget Lego horizon !!!

 

[kevboard]

It's going to be 30fps. You need to lower these expectations or you are in for disappointment.

it's not ported by FromSoftware... so I'd say there is a nonzero percent chance of it running at 60fps
I mean, does it make any sense that the performance mode on current gen doesn't run at a locked 60fps? no... so all it takes is Virtuos actually choosing the right settings and target resolution, both of which FromSoftware didn't do

 

[chakadave]

This would be sweet

 

[Madserb2023]

At least this is an indicator that the Switch 2 is decently powerful and that it will get third party support and not just I indies. Not always a given.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Every single sale would be from double dippers. And having played Elden Ring, I’m not sure it’s a good thing.
I am definitely not touching that game again.

 

[kazuyamishima]

We just have to wait and see, but ER is a PS4 game.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'll laugh if the third party porting studio can make ER run at locked 60 fps on Switch 2 with almost-PS5 detail level

 

[killatopak]

DF is gonna milk impossible ports again aren’t they?
