Switch battery life ranked by tons of games, based on brightness and Wi-Fi usage
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 161 Comments
Reddit user Tyfui has put together a handy chart ranking a ton of different games for Switch based on how long the battery lasts. Over 50 titles were put to the test, and each one includes data for low brightness / airplane mode (Wi-Fi off), low brightness / Wi-Fi, max brightness / airplane mode (Wi-Fi off), and max brightness / Wi-Fi.
Some of the results are rather surprising. Did you know that Monopoly can end up using more battery than Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for instance? FAST RMX also seems to take up quite a bit of juice.
