Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine dev explains why Star Wars Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2 is a game-key card
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Like many games, Star Wars Outlaws’ physical release on Nintendo Switch is a game-key card. But now we get to hear directly from a developer about why that ended up happening.
Rob Bantin, the audio architect for Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine, recently spoke about the situation on social media. In one post, Bantin noted that the “engine relies heavily on disk streaming for its open world environments, and Switch 2 cards didn’t give the performance needed for their quality target.” He went on to say that had Star Wars Outlaws been developed for Nintendo Switch 2 originally, “it might have been different.” Bantin added: “As it was, we’d build a game around the SSDs of the initial target platforms, and then the Switch 2 came along a while later. In this case I think our leadership made the right call.”

Video: Hollow Knight: Silksong Nintendo Switch 2 vs. Switch comparison
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Switch 2, Videos | 0 comments
Today was the launch for Hollow Knight: Silksong, and fans are already putting together comparisons for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch versions of the game.
It goes without saying, but Silksong is naturally a better experience on the new hardware – though that’s not taking anything away from Nintendo Switch 1. Still, on Nintendo Switch 2, you’re getting an enhanced technical experience. The new system supports a higher resolution and a frame rate up to 120 FPS. There’s also a bit more going on with the Nintendo Switch 2 version in general, though there’s not a massive difference. Other than that, loading times are shorter on Nintendo’s latest system.
