Yeah pre-launch footage of Outlaws was pretty rough, thankfully the final game was a huge improvement. It must have really come together at the last minute.

Crazy how the same game went from proof of Switch 2 being underpowered to proof it's stronger than a lot of people thought overnight. The discourse around the system's capabilities really shifted with Outlaws.

You have to take into account that RT lighting in SW2 version is so unstable in some cases that, if it was on any other system, it would be considered a technical bug or glitch, but since Outlaws was considered THE port that will showcase what SW2 can do, it's pretty much hand-waved at this point.

That's the sort of thing only eagle-eyed enthusiasts like us will really notice though, to the average player, it's unlikely to be an issue.

Before Outlaws came out, the narrative was that the port would be a dumpster fire of shitty graphics and stuttering framerates cos the Switch 2 was seen as "just a PS4" and "can't handle current gen games". This perceptions changed dramatically when the port turned out to be remarkably solid.
