Digital Foundry: Yes, It's Faster: Switch 2 Back Compat vs Batman Arkham Knight + the Witcher 3
TL;DW: Switch 1 games that struggled with framerate now run much better on Switch 2 via backwards compatibility. Batman Arkham Knight ran at an abysmal ~20FPS on the original Switch, but now runs at a stable 30.
A console in 2025 "runs at a stable 30" fps and that's good news? Of course this is slightly faster than a mobile chip from 10 years ago, but that's an incredibly low bar to set.
We know it's faster, but allegedly Switch 1 games run through a compatibility layer so there was some worry it wouldn't boost performance on old titles. The video confirms it does.
Curious if someone would then add how well the games on steam deck run in comparison.. Though that's not exactly legal I suppose
