The Switch 2 demo version of “Pragmata” released by Capcom has finally been officially launched, and a screen comparison video of the console version quickly appeared on the Internet. The three versions of Switch 2, Xbox Series S and PS5 were directly compared on the same field. The result is actually more interesting than many players expected.
The resolution is lower, but the upscaling and shadows are more beautiful
According to a comparison test by YouTube channel ElAnalistaDeBits, the Switch 2 version is indeed lower than the Xbox Series S in terms of native resolution, but it actually presents better visual results in terms of upscaling effects, filters, and shadow quality. In other words, although the foundation is relatively low, through post-processing enhancement, the overall picture appearance is not necessarily bad.
All consoles run at full 60FPS, but Switch 2 occasionally drops speed.
The target frame rate of all three platforms is 60FPS. However, when the battle is more intense or the scene is more complex, the Switch 2 version is more prone to frame rate fluctuations and may not be able to stably lock 60FPS.
Testers of Nintendo Life also mentioned that the overall smoothness of the actual experience is quite stable, but the picture details are indeed downgraded compared to the PS5. For example, the textures are blurry and the resolution is slightly softer. However, the light and shadow performance and the overall art style are still quite high-quality, and it does not look cheap.
Switch 2 performs better than expected
The biggest point of this comparison of “Pragmata” is not that “Switch 2 is not as good as PS5”, but that its performance in image quality, light and shadow, and upscaling is actually close to the level of mainstream consoles. For a console that focuses on hybrid and portable positioning, it is already a pretty good achievement to be able to maintain such picture performance.
And this is only the demo stage. There is still room for optimization before the official version is launched, and there is still an opportunity to improve subsequent performance.
