Outlast Switch technical details
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Despite no prior announcements, Outlast showed up on the Switch eShop around the world today. Red Barrel Games has since confirmed some technical information.
When docked, Outlast runs at 1008p (apparently this isn’t a typo) on Switch. The resolution drops to the highest possible amount of 720p in portable mode. Also, in both modes, Outlast runs at 30 frames per second.
Outlast 2 will launch for Switch on March 27. Thus far, Red Barrel hasn’t provided any technical information about that title, but it’s possible that it will run at the same frame rate and resolution.

Last week, Bethesda and Panic Button dropped a new patch for Doom on Switch. Version 1.1.1 added motion aiming, improved performance, and more. Digital Foundry has now taken a new look at the title to explore the technical changes in greater detail.
In terms of resolution, there is a slight difference. Doom may have a slightly higher resolution in some areas, but the change is small enough where most players won’t be able to detect changes.
