How the Switch 2 version performs

Digital Foundry's early test, reported by Pure Xbox, found a native 540p image in docked mode, upscaled with Nvidia DLSS. It said the picture looked better than the Xbox Series S at 720p, but the frame rate was less steady: down to 30fps docked and the 20s handheld at worst. Gfinity describes a target of 60fps with dips, mostly in Leon's busy fights, and says Grace's sections hold close to 60. These accounts differ in detail, and Capcom may have patched the game since, so treat numbers as a snapshot.

Which version should you choose?

  1. Want the smoothest, sharpest game: PS5, Xbox Series X or a decent PC.
  2. Want to play on the go: Switch 2 is a fair choice.
  3. Have a weak PC: try GeForce NOW or check the demo first.
