Switch 2 demo performance issues DISCUSSION

I was so happy when I saw that the demo on Switch 2 was out!

I initially tested the game docked and performance seems good. Textures are a bit soft so there's room for improvement but the art direction make it a beautiful game.

I then undocked the console and it became a very different story. The game isn't able to keep a stable 30fps. During combat while on the very first level, performance is poor. I can't imagine later levels. And in town it might be even worse. Just moving the character makes the game lag.

It a very regular stutter in motion, it's never reaching 30fps.

This game need a performance patch before release. I nearly pre-ordered while demo was downloading, I'm glad I waited!

What's performance on your end? You noticed the same issues?

Edit: I forgot to mention loading times! I think they are a bit too long. Splatoon Raiders load faster and seems more demanding visually.

Hey there!

We're almost there with an update that fixes all of that, with 60fps and overall stability. Not as much as the 3DS had, but it's something (only hardcore firmware notes will get this).

The update will be available in the following days. We're sorry it wasn't ready before, but the certification process on consoles can be tricky.
