Digital Foundry: Stellar Blade is a better than expected Switch 2 port

[Leah]

Stellar Blade has made a strong jump to Nintendo's new console. Nintendo Life reports that Digital Foundry calls the Unreal Engine 4 game a better than expected Switch 2 port, with gentler compromises than many newer games

Key lighting systems survive the move, and most of the downgrades are smaller asset changes visible in side by side comparisons with the PS5 version. Most players would struggle to spot them in normal play

With frame generation turned on, the game outputs 60 frames per second. With it off, it hovers around 40 frames per second

Digital Foundry says frame generation is not a bad choice given the console's limits, but suggests a 40fps target mode might play better. No internal resolution figures were given in the article

Stellar Blade's fast combat depends on responsive controls, so the frame rate options matter a lot. A 40fps mode on a 120Hz screen can feel smoother than people expect. The port shows the Switch 2 can handle demanding modern games when developers put in the effort

Would you play Stellar Blade on Switch 2? And do you prefer higher frame rates or better graphics?
