Civilization VI will be receiving a new feature on Switch with a future update. A hotseat mode will be added to the game, allowing for multiplayer on a single console with players taking turns.

Pre-orders are now open here. Only 3,000 copies will be made, and a reversible inlay will be included.
Note that there’s no word on a physical version for North America at this time.

Disney Tsum Tsum Festival will require some extra hardware in order to work with the Switch Lite. According to the game’s Japanese website, it cannot be played with the system alone. A separate pair of Joy-Con will be required in order to play.

As for the actual campaign, Dragon Quest Builders 2 usually sits between 20 and 40 FPS. There’s no frame rate cap, hence the variable performance.
