A look at Cronos: the New Dawn, a current gen only Unreal Engine 5 title, running on Switch 2, and a better look at Star Wars Outlaws, also a demanding current gen only title:

Outlaws does seem to show some performance dips, but considering its one of the more demanding current gen multiplat titles, hitting just 30fps on Series S, that's not too surprising. It definitely looks like a step up from most "impossible ports" on Switch 1.

Cronos with its more intimate scope seems to hold up really well.

And that's more or less what I expected. It can run PS5-tier games without it having to be like some miracle or big to do, Outlaws even has ray-tracing mandatory in its lighting engine I believe (I'm sure it is pared down of course), but yeah. I suspect Outlaws is a bit rushed though, feels like studios have not had kits for very long. 

Cronos looks very good and comparable to the next-gen exclusive Silent Hill 2 Remake (same developer, same engine?). 

At the end of the day it's the games that are playable on the hardware not really any kind of specs. 

The versions of FC Soccer 26, NBA 2K26, and Madden NFL 26 are also confirmed to be the next-gen versions of those games too.
