No reason it shouldn’t work well

Release it you cowards. Some people don’t care if it’s perfect.

I just don’t get how this is taking this long. Elden Ring runs fine on steam deck which is weaker than Switch 2.

Gotta go back and finally finish Dark Souls before this releases. Love that game, but hit a point where I don’t know where to progress so I have to search the entire world which is a bit daunting.

and then it comes out: game key card.

Knowing From Software, I’d temper expectations on performance.

Just don’t buy without any benchmark of the game…
Wait for performance test, and if its correct, buy it, otherwise, don’t. Simple

30 fps is not fun
Bayako7
The gameplay we saw wasn’t that problematic. It didn’t look bad it didn’t run too poor. I’m glad they took the time to improve but the criticism was a bit too harsh
LilSmidgey
This is the type of game where 60fps is essential. Hardly worth to get excited about especially without VRR in docked.

I hope it’s not €60 or more when it comes out.
I’d love to play it on Switch, but I’m not paying full price for it again.

I never finished SOTE. Got to last boss and kept getting wrecked in first phase so I figured I needed more levels or scadu fragments but then got into some other games and never came back. They eventually patched the light show that battle was? Drove my eyes crazy
junglespycamp
I’d suggest reading the article. It sounds better but still has issues. I suspect it’ll be several more months before release.

Another key card for the don’t buy pile. Yippee. God switch 2 sucks.

Is there cross-platform saves?

If I hate the purposefully obtuse nature of Dark Souls (and games like it) should I even bother with this game, or does it actually communicate anything to the player? 😆
ColinDJPat
Yay, I hope this means the Tarnished Edition content will be hitting PC soon
GWFfarley2k
Triple dip? I already have bought it on PC, and PSX. Do I really need it on the Switch – will I be able to resist?
Quicksurfer524
Stop talking about it and just release it already
PaperMartin
Actual optimization pass or DLSS place your bets folks
Lastraven587
Looking better than ever isnt saying much as the last time we saw it, the game looked and ran like butt
Rizenstrom
With proper optimized and DLSS I see no reason they couldn’t make an acceptable looking 40fps mode.
I’d probably buy that. Otherwise I’ll stick with my PC/ Steam Deck.

Nice

Hopefully by the time I can afford a Switch 2, this game will be well optimized and released. Been wanting to play it for years.

Some of the bosses struggle on the top end consoles and PCs, will be interesting to see how they’ve handled this in for the S2

Press B to doubt.
I want to believe but I won’t get caught in the hype

The thing that’s so weird about this game is that it runs way worse than it should even on powerful PCs. There’s not that much going on on the screen.
VisceralMonkey
I’ll be shocked if it’s released, honestly.
Outrageous_Meet2025
As long as it run a stable 1080p 30fps docked it’s a day one purchase for me.
TeamLeeper
Its release, if it’s decent, will keep me from upgrading my Steam Deck LCD for the foreseeable future.
I have 550 hrs on the PS5 version, but playing it anywhere would be amazing!
ProfessorPlayerOne
Anyone think we can hope for a Dark Souls trilogy on Switch 2? 🙏
Lower_Warning2955
I think the game will be released soon. I hope also will be a cartridge with the full game 🙂
BigCommieMachine
I was never concerned about Duskblood’s performance because it is FromSoft game…..it is going to be less than ideal.
I am concerned because it is PvPvE and it is Nintendo Online.

My favorite play-through of Elden Ring was actually on my steam deck and it really was a blast on a handheld. Hopefully the Switch port runs well, for those who are interested!
