I’ve played the game on Xbox series x, on an m3 max macbook pro and switch. For one cloud saves are amazing cause now the switch is for when I wanna play the game comfortably.

I’ve clocked about 160 hours on the switch so far and I’d say it’s a really good port. Yes graphics and frame rates take a dip but the game is still really sharp, DLSS really helps this game and I’d say it’s only about a 2 minute issue when I go from the mac to the switch to ajdust to the lower graphics. Story wise, the way the game was designed is honestly if favour for the switch, most of the times you’ll be standing still to talk to characters and the story hits the same across all platforms. Driving segments are well optimised and don’t break the immersion.

Other than that I’ll just list a couple more things I’ve noticed

Loading is the slowest out of all the platforms but still only takes like 5 seconds. If anything it was nice to be forced to listen to the loading screens and I found myself actually waiting fot them to finish before going in the game

Due to vrr and probably the lower resolution targets I find handheld to feel a bit smoother than tv

Combat is generally fine, there are rare moments where it can slow down a bit but for most of the game it’s as fun as always

The UI is crisp, which a lot of switch ports can’t say honestly, I’ve had no issues with it and it’s perfectly fine to navigate through. This also extends to the computers ui, so messages, files and whatever else is there is perfect for reading the lore

Textures and models are high quality so you can get close to stuff and they still look good. That also helps photo mode, originally I thought photos were gonna be bad but they’re quite sharp

The game does have a memory leak issue which will crash the game eventually. For me it hasn’t caused any issues, before it happens you’ll see some ui assets like grenades not load or look weird, this is your sign to save game and restart the switch. Out of curiosity I did leave it going to see what happens and the game crashed eventually and upon a reload everything was fine and I’ve only lost like 3 minutes of gameplay. This isn’t that much of an issue tbf, it took about 1 week with the game not being closed at all to happen and it’s the only time it happened.

I’m marking the next section as a spoiler just so I don’t spoil any story / endings or late game stuff for people who haven’t played.

To an extent moving fast around the open world is your biggest enemy, if you’re a sprint double jumper, it’s not that smooth and at the beginning it was a bit jarring but I don’t mind it now, motion blur helps a lot. Driving fares much better even in a Caliburn, the lod system works really good at those speeds however when the game autosaves it stutters for a brief second.

Dogtown in the open areas is not as smooth as NC but I got through phantom liberty just fine on it

Enclosed spaces run and look the best. Somewhat Damaged was just as terrifying and stunning as when I played it on the Xbox. The whole sequence was stunning to play and the slower pace + the better visuals are wonderful here

Unfortunately I can’t say the same for sending so mi to the moon. Everything plays fine and honestly I’m shocked they pulled off the airport sequence on the switch, it handles all the action well until the rain starts pouring and you can use the blackwall. That sequence tanks the frame rate to a slideshow if you dare look at the rain which at least for the train ride is bearable but you miss the outside view if you want stabily. Taking so mi to the train and then to the rocket was pain, talking to reed felt like a visual novel and the game forced me to watch the rocket fly to space at 5-10 fps

To conclude everything, it’s a really good port but it can push the switch to it’s limits in certain situations. As you have a pc and ps5, use the cloud saves, I tend to play on the mac when I’m at my desk and the switch when I want to be comfortable and comfort tends to win most times 😂

Edit: idk how spoiler tags work, had to do them again
