In this thrilling review, IGN puts Nintendo's new console, the Switch 2, to the ultimate test with Cyberpunk 2077. Featuring Nvidia's cutting-edge Ampere architecture and DLSS technology, the Switch 2 targets a crisp 1920 x 1080 resolution in both quality and performance modes. Even pushing the boundaries, the console can drop to 960 x 540 for higher frame rates, showcasing its versatility and power. When compared to the competition, the Switch 2 leaves Valve's Steam Deck in the dust, boasting superior GPU horsepower and image quality, setting a new standard in the handheld gaming world.
The performance mode of the Switch 2 aims for a 40fps ceiling, providing a smoother gameplay experience than the standard 30fps. IGN's review highlights the Switch 2's impressive performance, clocking in 50-80% faster than the Steam Deck in performance mode. Not stopping there, the Switch 2 also outshines the PS4 in image quality and overall performance, solidifying its position as a powerhouse in the gaming industry. While docked performance remains consistent at 30fps, the handheld mode sees a drop in resolution to 720p, strategically utilizing DLSS for enhanced image quality.
Despite some minor setbacks, such as occasional frame rate drops, the Switch 2's 40fps mode emerges as the preferred choice for handheld gaming, offering a balance of visual quality and performance. IGN's review praises the Switch 2 for exceeding expectations as a third-party release, showcasing the prowess of DLSS technology. Although lacking ray tracing and 60fps options at present, the Switch 2 sets a promising foundation for its third-party library, hinting at exciting possibilities for future updates. So buckle up, gamers, as the Switch 2 takes the gaming world by storm, offering a thrilling and immersive experience unlike any other.
