Video: Cronos: The New Dawn Nintendo Switch 2 vs. PS5 graphics comparison
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch 2, Videos | 0 comments
Cronos: The New Dawn is almost here, and we now have a graphics comparison for the Nintendo Switch 2 and PS5 versions of the game.
It’s clear that certain changes were needed in order to get things up and running on Nintendo’s hardware. Both resolution and frame rate are lower on the system, which is to be expected. While it’s not 60 frames per second, an initial look seems to show that things are stable at 30 FPS on Nintendo Switch 2. Otherwise we also get a resolution of 1080p that’s upscaled.
