I really don't think the Switch 2 is the issue here. CD Projekt Red managed to make a Cyberpunk 2077 version that is competent on the same console while it barely runs on the PS4.

If Elden Ring is struggling that hard it's all on From.

We can't act like it's only Elden Ring showing these problems. Borderlands 4 isn't a Solid 30 either according to randy Pitchford. I'm sorry but it's worse for Switch 2 than I was expecting. I thought the games that ran Ok on PS4/Xbone would all be fine on Switch 2, and only the XBSS/X and PS5 only titles would suffer, but that was actually overly optimistic. 1GHZ Arm CPU and 62GB memory bandwidth just isn't going to work well enough for most titles. 

Borderlands 4 "ran Ok on PS4/Xbone"? On platforms the game isn't releasing on? Or were these two sentences meant to be disconnected?

This is the current state of released cross-gen titles. You'll have to view in Desktop mode if you are on a phone.

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.)
