So I decided to catalog the relatively demanding multiplatform games released so far and how they compare on PS4 vs. Switch 2 vs. Series S. Half of the games in this set (4 out of 8) had higher framerates on Switch 2 than PS4 and 6 of them had higher max resolutions. The Series S was 8/8 and 6/8 respectively. Of course this isn't looking at graphics quality, and effective image quality (which the Switch 2 is advantaged with giving DLSS often has an advantage compared to TAA/FSR 2 at 1080p, with trade offs of course.)
