The lowest I had was about 1:20 on Monster Hunter Rise at max settings for 60fps

3D open world max W = 60min or more

Google AI says less than 60 min at 25W overclocked but the article is not online anymore?

Assassin's Creed Shadows was already an impressive port, as a demanding current gen open world title with a lot of world simulation systems as well as things like virtualized geometry being intact on Switch 2; the addition of SSR now makes it look even better and cements it as one of the more accomplished ports on the console thus far.

Ubisoft in general has really gone above and beyond on Switch 2 so far, which was not on my bingo card as these days they seem to rarely get things right. I'd love to see them brings over Avatar Frontiers of Pandora too.



Yeah Ubi is odd, they require all kinds of BS with Steam, to the point I haven't bought their games in over a decade, but they seem Nintendo friendly. Very odd.

In fairness Ubi has always supported Nintendo pretty well. If not with ports then with original titles during the Wii, Wii U days. Even with the Switch they developed  the Mario x Rabbid games. The Switch didn't get many PS4 ports but I think that's fair considering the spec gulf. Even though Witcher 3 on Switch was a huge achievement I just find those levels of scaling down to be reductive to the games original vision and comes at the cost of really dedicating a team to producing it. I think with S2 the technical economics and pay off finally make sense. If anything, the fact they're struggling reinforces the benefit of getting an extra 500k-1m units from Nintendo

Their Nintendo support has been good, I meant more that in general recently the company seems to been something of a dumpster fire, so something positive coming from them is a change of pace.
