Capcom just shipped Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, and following its release, a new Nintendo Switch 2 vs. PS5 graphics comparison has emerged.
Looking at resolution first, the Nintendo Switch 2 version targets 1080p in handheld mode and 1440p when docked. In comparison, the PS5 version is 4K.
Frame rate is where things get more interesting. As we previously heard, Capcom has included an option to enable frame generation on Nintendo Switch 2. This technically allows the game to reach 60 frames per second. When the option is off, the action seems to stick more closely to the 40s.
Capcom made some subtle graphical changes to get Dragon’s Dogma 2 running on Nintendo Switch 2. These relate to textures, draw distance, and more. Still, it’s impressive to see the title here in its entirety with the visuals only being scaled down a bit.
Here’s an overview of the game:
Dragon’s Dogma 2 presented players with a deep, explorable fantasy world, challenging them to choose their own experience – from the appearance of their Arisen, their vocation, their party, how to approach different situations and more.
With Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, that experience has been further enhanced through the addition of unforgettable new tales and thrilling encounters.
Experience enhanced gameplay. Embark on uncharted adventures. Enticing value for myriad additions.
Together with your loyal Pawns, set off on an unparalleled adventure!
