Video: NieR: Automata Switch vs. PS4 comparison

A new video for the Switch and PS4 versions of NieR: Automata have emerged, covering the graphics and frame rate.

By all accounts, developer Virtuos has done an admirable job bringing the action adventure game to Switch. We already know that the title targets 30 frames per second on Nintendo’s console rather than 60 – and that’s further backed up here. But this may actually be a good thing as the PS4 version, while targeting 60, can fluctuate – and that doesn’t always lead to the best experience. Elsewhere we see that the game apparently goes for a resolution of 1080p on Switch when docked, but with temporal reconstruction. 

Here’s the full graphics and frame rate comparison video for NieR: Automata on Switch and PS4:

NieR: Automata will be available for Switch on October 6, 2022. It’s possible that more outlets will over the technical changes around the Switch release next week. If that happens and there’s notable information, we’ll let you know.
