The skilled analysts at Digital Foundry have conducted a detailed assessment of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 and determined that it is comparable to Sony’s PlayStation 4. This comparison suggests that players will enjoy PlayStation 4-quality graphics on the go, with anticipated third-party titles such as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Hogwarts Legacy, and Cyberpunk 2077. Pre-release specifications hinted at hardware capabilities similar to that of the PlayStation 4. The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to be released on June 5th.
“Broadly speaking it’s helpful to think of the Switch 2 as kind of like, you know, roughly a PS4 level in terms of comparable titles but it can do so much more in terms of storage, bespoke graphical features, possibly the CPU is also faster…” FF7 Remake: “The presentation is PS4 levels or thereabouts. So broadly speaking quite comparable to PS4 if not actually a bit more of a favorable experience compared to PS4” Switch 2: “As a first generation ballpark, so to speak, PS4 is a very good comparison point I think.”– Digital Foundry
