Digital Foundry, known for its tech-savvy insights, has taken a close look at one of the most notorious duds on the Nintendo Switch: Batman: Arkham Knight. We’re talking about a game infamous for its less-than-stellar performance on the original console. Yet, when tested on the new Nintendo Switch 2, the results were surprisingly favorable. According to the experts, “Switch 1 games do run better on Switch 2.” This is fantastic news for gamers who have endured frustrating performance issues on their original devices, as there’s hope for a smoother gaming experience ahead.
“The first game I tested was Batman: Arkham Knight, described by DF’s Oliver Mackenzie as ‘the worst performing software I have reviewed to date at Digital Foundry.’ Eighteen months later, he stands by this claim – but the bright side is that Switch 2 alleviates all of its performance woes, at times doubling the frame rate. In short, Switch 1 games genuinely perform better on Switch 2.”
