Pokemon Legends Z-A graphics comparison

A handy graphics comparison has come in for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch 1 versions of Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

It was previously mentioned that on Nintendo Switch 2, the game features improved performance, enhanced resolution, and a smoother frame rate. However, there’s a bit more to things than that.

Diving more into the technical side of things, you’re getting 60 FPS on Nintendo Switch 2 and 30 FPS on the previous hardware. For Nintendo Switch 1, it looks like there’s a maximum resolution of 1080p when docked, but there’s a common resolution close to 800p. Nintendo Switch 2 has a scaled 2160p resolution with a common resolution of 1080p. Other outlets like Digital Foundry should dive into this a bit more soon.

There are other benefits for playing on Nintendo’s newest console. For one thing, textures are sharper while it also looks like pop-in isn’t as severe.
