Rocket League targeted for 60 FPS, 720p on Switch

This should be a good indication of Switch power.
720p vs 1080p on PS4 & Xbox One but probably the same graphical fidelity.

Good for a handheld, dissapointing for a home console that came out in 2017.

But it's great to have such a game for mobile play.

Stuff like Rocket League unfortunately tend to make for fairly poor reference points, because their technical cap is significantly lower than what the PS4 and X1 can do. It's why even the standard X1 can run it at 1080p/60fps/Max~. Such comparisons tend to favour lower spec hardware, since less of its available power tends to go to waste. So it shows us what the Switch can do, but not what it can do relative to the PS4 and X1.

A good reference point would be a technically impressive title the PS4 and X1 have to make significant compromises on versus the game's technical cap (e.g. The Witcher 3), and from a developer willing to properly optimise for all platforms. The best example we have right now is DQH2, where the differences is 1080p vs 720p, 45-60fps vs 20-30fps, and graphical downgrades on the Switch. Unfortunately even DQH2 is a relatively lacking comparison, because it's not particularly well optimized on anything :p

Skyrim seems like a reference point.
