| curl-6 said: Here's an interesting angle: according to one of the devs of Ubisoft's Snowdrop engine, the reason Star Wars Outlaws is a key card release is because it's streaming system was designed around the fast SSDs of PS5 and Xbox Series, and Switch 2 game cards just couldn't provide a fast enough data speed for the developer's quality target: https://nintendoeverything.com/star-wars-outlaws-switch-2-game-key-card/ He goes on to say that if Switch 2 had been one of the target platforms from the start things "might have been different." So cost is not the only factor in the controversial game card issue. |
Hm...that's interesting piece of info. Aren't Switch 2 game cards something like 900-1000MB/s? That is faster than SATA SSDs (which are around 550MB/s), and they don't seem to have problems with Outlaws on PC.
