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.

Following the launch of Kirby and the Forgotten Land on Nintendo Switch 2, we have a new video comparison showing how it stacks up to the Switch 1 version.
There are definitely some extra bells and whistles on Nintendo Switch 2. Whereas the original game rate at 30 FPS, it’s now been bumped up to 60 on the new console – plus animations for distance enemies have seen a boost. There’s also a resolution increase for both docked and handheld modes.
