Following the launch of WWE 2K25 on Nintendo Switch 2 this week, a new video has come in offering a graphics comparison to the PS5 Pro version.
If you’re not attuned to the small differences in graphics, both versions should look pretty similar. For the most part, that does seem to be the case. The PS5 Pro version should support a higher resolution and has some additional lighting effects (especially if you look at the entrance ramp on Nintendo Switch 2), but otherwise, there aren’t a ton of differences.

Shadow Labyrinth review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2 (also on Switch)
Release date: July 17, 2025
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Bandai Namco

Not only that, but Bandai Namco greenlit, developed, and released a game in which the player is accompanied by a dark (possibly evil?) take on Pac-Man named Puck, who devours the souls of slain enemies to help the player level up. It’s a bonkers concept for a spin-off, and one I knew I needed to experience for myself to fully understand.
