Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will be optimized on Switch before release
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was finally playable on Switch at PAX East. Unfortunately, impressions haven’t been entirely positive – largely due to performance.
USgamer says Bloodstained felt “choppy and unpolished” on Switch. The site also highlighted “terrible input lag, slowdown, and an inconsistent frame rate”. You can see some footage here.
Although Bloodstained’s PAX showing on Switch didn’t go entirely well, publisher 505 Games doesn’t sound concerned. The port will be going through plenty of optimization prior to release, and is far from being finished. When Bloodstained launches, it’ll apparently run much more closely to the PC build, which doesn’t have these issues.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night launches sometime this summer. There’s a good chance it’ll be playable at E3, so maybe we’ll see an updated Switch build then.
