Elden Ringon theNintendo Switch 2sounds cool, but I’m concerned about its performance.

But it does suggestthe Switch 2 may have trouble rendering The Lands Between.

The rest of it draws mainly from cutscenes, which are naturally impressive, but also inherently more stable.

More so than most action RPGs,Elden Ringdemands quick reactions.

Elden Ringis alreadyno stranger to performance issues.

It launched with some pretty significant issues on all platforms - even on much more powerful consoles and PCs.

Many of these were fixed over time, and theTarnished Editionhas time on its side.

But from what we’ve seen so far, it apparently hasn’t.

But even now,Elden Ringis prone to occasional stuttering.

Performance issues repeated themselves whenShadow of the Erdtreewas released.

The DLC has yet to be confirmed for Switch 2.

Still,Elden Ringmight be a beautiful thing for Switch 2 players.

I’ll be the first to admit that it’s a little too early to count theTarnished Editionout.

That first trailer was a little rough, but FromSoft has plenty of time to improve its performance.

And even if it’s not perfect, many players will chose portability over fluidity.
