The knowledgeable tech-focussed team at Digital Foundry have been examining the Nintendo Switch 2 in their recent analysis and have concluded that Nintendo’s next generation system is roughly on par with Sony’s PlayStation 4 console. This means that we will be treated with a PlayStation 4 visual experience in the palm of our hands with third party titles such as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Hogwarts Legacy and Cyberpunk 2077. The leaked specifications before the console was revealed hinted that we should expect around PlayStation 4 levels of hardware power. Nintendo Switch 2 launches 5th June.
“Broadly speaking its 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 there abouts. 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.”
