. The game runs at 720p in docking mode and 576p in handheld mode. In both modes, the frame rate of the game is locked to 30fps. Although this is consistent with other Nintendo Switch ports of popular third-party games, it is worrying that this number is much lower than the PC version of the game (the latter has a maximum speed of 144fps) and possible 4K resolution.
A new video compares the two versions, showing how obvious the difference is between the PC version and the Nintendo Switch version of the game.

Although it's hard to be surprised by the performance of Nintendo Switch-
Compare it to other platforms-it's also a bit unfair to compare it to the performance of a powerful PC. No one expects the powerful performance of the portable Nintendo system. Even so, the performance of the game should still be enough to give players a chance to compete with each other, especially when cross-matching is a widely promoted aspect in the title.
