Switch 2's Resident Evil Requiem: DLSS boosts visuals but frame rate sometimes wobbles

Digital Foundry’s tech analysis of Resident Evil Requiem on Nintendo Switch 2 finds Capcom delivering PS5-like visuals aided by DLSS, but frame rate remains uneven: docked targets 60fps but often sits in the 40s–50s and can drop to 30fps; handheld dips to about 25fps. The game runs at 540p docked and 360p handheld, with DLSS boosting the final docked output toward ~1080p and a 1080p UI (PS5 is 4K). No ray tracing on Switch 2. Loading times are quick, and image quality is better than Xbox Series S, though performance lags behind in many scenarios. Release is set for February 27.

DLSS Lifts Resident Evil Requiem on Switch 2 Beyond Its Specs

Digital Foundry finds the Switch 2 port of Resident Evil Requiem uses DLSS to upscale a 540p base to 1080p, yielding image quality that often surpasses the Series S native 720p. However, the port runs with an unlocked, variable frame-rate (roughly 30–60fps docked, lower in handheld) and includes some visual downgrades (hair, textures). Despite these compromises, core visuals are preserved and DLSS is the standout feature driving the port’s success.

Tales of Arise Switch 2 port runs at 30fps gameplay with 60fps cutscenes at 1080p

Tales of Arise is headed to Nintendo Switch 2 with a mostly 30fps gameplay cap and 60fps cutscenes, at a 1080p resolution. Frame rate may dip during intense moments, and there’s no full 60fps mode as seen on PS5/Xbox Series X|S. In handheld mode the game runs at 1080p, while docked play may be less impressive. The Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition launches on Switch 2 on May 22, 2026.

FF7 Remake Intergrade on Switch 2: solid 30fps port with 1080p docked and 720p portable DLSS upscaling

Digital Foundry’s tech analysis finds Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade on Nintendo Switch 2 to be a strong port: docked runs at 1080p while portable sits around 720p and upscales to 1080p via a light DLSS, with gameplay capped at a stable 30fps and faster PS4-era load times. Texture work largely matches PS5 in many areas but mirrors PS4 in assets, lighting is PS5-like except for some lower-resolution volumetric lighting, and some dithering is more pronounced in portable mode. Both docked and portable visuals are similar overall, though portable mode shows more DLSS-related artifacts; still, the port represents a solid technical achievement for Switch 2.

Monster Hunter Wilds DLC checks yield only modest PC gains, not a miracle fix

Monster Hunter Wilds DLC checks yield only modest PC gains, not a miracle fix

New tests largely confirm that buying the full cosmetic DLC catalog for Monster Hunter Wilds provides only small, hardware-dependent framerate gains instead of the dramatic boosts initially reported. In controlled runs, RTX 4060 rose from about 66fps to 67fps around base camp, while RTX 5080 went from ~66fps to 73fps (plus small 0.1% lows improvements). Outside base camp, gains are minimal, and the author cautions that spending nearly £460 on cosmetics is not worth it. Capcom’s patch due Jan 27 will be another test, but the evidence so far suggests the DLC checks aren’t a silver bullet for performance.
