Elden Ring’s highly anticipated release on the Nintendo Switch 2 is marred by significant performance issues, raising concerns for fans eager to experience the game on a handheld device. Reports from Gamescom indicate that the game struggles to maintain its maximum framerate of 30fps, with some players experiencing drops as low as 15fps. This raises a red flag for potential buyers who may have expected a seamless gaming experience. Felix Sanchez from Nintendo Life expressed disappointment, noting that while the graphics look impressive, the gameplay performance is far from satisfactory.
