Hopefully it's real, if it can run it decently, that would be really cool!!

Zen CPU cores are currently the best and fastest in the industry.
The Series S may be using older and slower Zen 2 cores, compared to PC's Zen 5 and incoming Zen 6, but the clockspeeds alone let them punch far above the Switch 2.

That said, the Switch 2's CPU isn't exactly useless either, A78AE can turn in some good results when operations are optimized for the cores.

The Switch 2's CPU is a good 2-3x faster than the archaic Jaguar depending on the task and instructions being leveraged.

If the PS4 has a game that has a lot of compressed meshes and textures, the Switch 2 CPU performance advantage becomes extremely large... As it's all done on a hardware decompression block and not using up a couple of CPU cores for that single task.

But the Switch 2 having a more modern GPU also has more work being done on the CPU, things like DLSS and Ray Tracing actually do use additional CPU cycles and Ram to perform.

So yes, Optimization plays a key role in getting the most out of the Switch 2's "smarter" hardware, which doesn't rely on brute force like other consoles.

StarCitizen itself should be fine on the Switch 2, the CPU is good enough and StarCitizen isn't the most demanding game on the CPU thanks to using the archaic NetImmerse turned Gamebryo turned Creation Engine, it's the heavy scripting that can kill things.

I mean the guy has a track record for sure. Pretty sure he's also spoke of stuff like FE4 remake and a "remaster" of Kirby Planet Robobot a good while back ...

Where are they actually ?

Anywoo, let's not gobble up everything that's being said plz.
Though, it makes sense to see a 3rd party publisher like Microsoft to throw it's biggest ammunitions on the platform.

Nice but if MS is to release a game from their library to Switch 2, I would love Rare Replay to be one.

Interesting to see how this runs (fps wise) and looks on the Switch2.

If it's a competent port, then you'll get 30fps, probably with some dips in built up areas due to CPU limits.

Looks wise, take the Series S version, and turn down stuff like say crowd density, shadow quality, draw distance, etc, but maybe bump up textures and image clarity due to DLSS and more RAM.

I know this doesn't mean anything, but instantgaming added a page for Starfield in the switch 2 section.
