Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Switch battery life ranked by tons of games, based on brightness and Wi-Fi usage

"Reddit user Tyfui has put together a handy chart ranking a ton of different games for Switch based on how long the battery lasts. Over 50 titles were put to the test, and each one includes data for low brightness / airplane mode (Wi-Fi off), low brightness / Wi-Fi, max brightness / airplane mode (Wi-Fi off), and max brightness / Wi-Fi.

Some of the results are rather surprising. Did you know that Monopoly can end up using more battery than Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for instance? FAST RMX also seems to take up quite a bit of juice."

 Here’s the full chart:

Splatoon 2 on airplane mode, noice.



             

Nintendo Switch FC: SW-6340-7643-4233 aka Renji

Steam: Lee Roid

Fast RMX squeezing out a ton of performance, impressive



This list is actually quite handy!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

...Vaccine is the second largest battery hog on the Switch? That is...I find that hard to believe based on what it looks like.

1 2 Switch must be off the scales... I'm not seeing it.



Really interesting chart and quit informative but... I hate it when people used minutes instead of hours. It irks me in the same way as when people refer to their kids as 23 months old etc. Just fucking use years! lol

Haha ya it literally looks like a PS1 game.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I would wager that if you added Picross S to this list it would be up with Disgaea 5 or even better, that game is incredibly good for making a battery last on a long journey.....

That said I got myself a 10k mAh battery to stick to the back of my Switch now so I get about 15 hours out of it, rarely travel enough to run that badboy dry.

Cool list though.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

There are some very odd results looking at max. brightness with and without WiFi on - some games take almost no hit (like SMO, Skyrim, Doom), while other take substantial hit (Fast RMX, Zelda). What on earth is Zelda using WiFi for?
