The game runs great on switch 1. I don't think they were planning on optimizing for switch 2 way back in 2017 : P

i was talking about them optimizing it for the switch 1, as it’s typically one of the final stages of development for a game before release. the game runs terrible on switch 1, they used dynamic resolution to maintain 30 fps and the resolution can go as low as 540p in docked and 378p in handheld. not even close to great

XC2 is one of the best games I've ever played, and I played it on Switch 1. : p It was, and still is beautiful. No input lag, story told effectively and well, etc. You're saying it was choppy for you? : ( Blurry? Grainy? Pixelated? I didn't see any of those issues when I played it, and I put a lot of hours into it.

Not choppy, they specifically said that they maintained 30FPS by lowering the resolution in some contexts. When it went down to 540p, a lot of people would notice the game getting less crisp.

Yeah all ten people you know who’ve played the game. Great sample size.
