Assassin's Creed Shadows - Switch 2 vs PC Graphics Comparison
2 months, 1 week

Assassins Creed Shadows has finally made its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. And it’s a pretty impressive port at that. While it doesn’t support Ray Tracing or a 4K resolution, the game looks pretty great in both Docked and handheld modes. Docked mode outputs the game at a base 648p resolution while handheld offers a 400p resolution before upscaling and runs at a capped 30fps. That being said the game still holds up pretty well when compared to the PC port with every setting cranked all the way up.Gameplay captured on a Docked Nintendo Switch 2
