  • The Nintendo Switch, with its low-power mobile processor and outdated technology, has limitations when it comes to keeping up with the graphics capabilities of last-gen consoles. However, despite these limitations, many developers have successfully ported 8th-gen console games to the Switch. But what happens when these ports fail to meet the technical standards? While most publishers would abandon their games on the Switch, there are a few that invest the effort to improve their software and fix the issues. In this article, we will be looking at some of these titles that have been fixed on the Switch and examine how much a post-release repair job can improve a flawed release. We will also explore the potential of AMD's FSR2 technology in revitalizing one of the biggest Switch ports of 2022, No Man's Sky. When it first launched on the Switch, No Man's Sky suffered from poor frame rates, significant pop-in, and low image quality. The game's visual issues were particularly noticeable, with a resolution as low as 504p in portable mode. However, a recent patch has introduced a customized version of AMD's FSR2 technology, which promises to greatly improve the image quality. So, how does this patch perform? The visual transformation is stunning, making No Man's Sky one of the cleanest and visually stable games on the Nintendo Switch.

  • The Nintendo Switch isn't the easiest console to work with, packing a low-power mobile processor with technology dating back to 2015.
  • It lacks the technological grunt to keep pace with last-gen console systems.
  • And yet, many developers have ported 8th-gen console efforts to Switch, with excellent results at times.
  • But what happens when Switch ports fail to reach an acceptable technical target?
  • Most publishers leave their games behind, but others invest the effort to systematically improve their Switch software, despite the limited capabilities of the console.
  • So today, we'll be looking at a handful of those titles, games that have been fixed on Switch, to see just how far a post-release repair job can go.
  • Can a flawed Switch release be redeemed with a few simple patches?
  • And can AMD's FSR2 revitalize one of 2022's biggest Switch ports?
  • No Man's Sky was always going to be a tough Switch port.
  • The open-universe game is understandably taxing on Switch hardware, which resulted in poor frame rates, plenty of pop-in, and somewhat dire image quality when it launched last year.
  • The constant flicker and muddy image was probably the worst of the game's issues.
  • I described it as being one of the worst offenders on Switch, with a 648p and 504p resolution split in docked and portable play respectively, slathered in ineffective TAA.
  • The brand new patch 4.4 promises the introduction of a customized version of AMD's FSR2 upsampling and anti-aliasing technology, however, promising greatly improved image quality.
  • So how does it work in practice?
  • The visual transformation is stunning.
  • No Man's Sky is now one of the cleanest, most visually stable games on Nintendo's hybrid console.
  • All the jagged, unstable lines that used to constantly flicker and create artifacting, even in stills, have been calmed.
  • Texture detail is still a little bit on the blurry side at times, but it appears quite clean.
  • If you zoom in closely, the actual sharpness of the image is about the same as before, but fine details are much more legible, even at far distances.
  • In docked mode, we're looking at a resolution range of roughly 468p to 648p or so, with an FSR2 output resolution of something around 648p, judging from the final image, while portable mode seems to be rendering at roughly a dynamic 504p,
  • With an output around the same resolution.
  • Developer Hello Games isn't aiming for a super high output here, which is perhaps a consequence of the frame time costs that FSR2 imposes, but they do achieve a very clean, albeit soft, final resolve.
  • We were able to contact Hello Games about these improvements.
  • According to them, they did a lot of careful custom work to get FSR2 running in a reasonably performant state on the Switch hardware.
  • Key to their efforts was implementing custom sampling filters to reduce FSR2's bandwidth demands during the upsampling pass, which otherwise would have been prohibitively expensive.
  • FSR2 was also integrated into their engine pipeline without using an external library, which allowed them to merge some FSR2 passes with passes from their game engine.
  • These changes, along with some careful hand tweaking, produced a very good looking result on Switch hardware.
  • They also mentioned that DRS is now enabled on Switch, which was absent before.
  • Hello Games now uses FSR2 across all console platforms, including this carefully optimized Switch variant, with very good results as far as I can tell.
  • That isn't to say that all of the game's faults have been rectified.
  • Performance and pop-in both seem fairly similar to the launch release, and the game does struggle a little bit during more demanding moments, like when traveling planet surfaces at speed.
  • It's possible that the game is a bit more stable relative to that initial version, but the same key issues are still here.
  • But the most glaring problem facing the initial Switch iteration of No Man's Sky has been comprehensively addressed, and the game simply works much better as a result.
  • The Outer Worlds was a bit of a mess when it launched on Switch in 2020.
  • It featured huge reductions to texture detail, alongside some upsetting issues with pop-in for models and textures alike.
  • Post-processing saw a big cutback, dropping ambient occlusion and depth of field.
  • Resolution metrics and image quality were poor, clocking in at about 540p in portable mode and 720p in docked mode.
  • And despite all of those compromises, the game couldn't manage to hold anything close to a stable 30fps.
  • So have the developers managed to turn things around since then?
  • For starters, the two key post-processing effects absent from the original release have made a return.
  • Ambient occlusion adds a huge amount of lighting detail to the environment, filling out crevices rather nicely.
  • The original game's lighting looks incomplete without decent AO coverage, and the Switch now comes a lot closer to the other console editions of Outer Worlds.
  • Likewise, depth of field is now present for character close-ups, enhancing dialogue sequences with cinematic flair.
  • Next up, the game's issues with texturing have largely been solved.
  • This sign in the original release basically failed to load in during John's original coverage, but as of the most recent patch, it loads into a high-resolution asset just fine.
  • Most of the textures are still obviously a bit low-res, but certain textures do seem to have been upgraded from the original release.
  • I suspect the original game simply wasn't loading in the highest LODs here for some reason, and it's great that the issue has largely been resolved.
  • But there are plenty of things that haven't been fixed.
  • Image quality is still soft and indistinct, with relatively low resolutions and lacking a good form of upsampling to produce a cleaner image.
  • Pop-in on models is still a substantial issue, and the game doesn't have especially elegant WAD management in general.
  • The Outer Worlds doesn't look amazing on Switch or anything like that, though the improvements do make it about acceptable from a visual perspective, especially in handheld mode.
  • Performance in the original game really did need a lot of work, with frequent sub-30fps framerates spending long stretches around the 20fps line.
  • It also had substantial frame pacing issues.
  • On the updated version, the game still isn't hitting a totally stable 30fps, but it doesn't seem to drop as low as the original version.
  • I'm not going to say that it's a complete win, and given the variable nature of the game, it's hard to dispositively say that the performance is going to be better in every situation.
  • But it does seem to have been uplifted to a degree.
  • Next up are the GTA Definitive Edition releases.
  • These UE4 powered remasters are somewhat controversial and disappointed upon their release in 2021.
  • The problematic art and lighting changes provoked the most ire, but the Switch ports saw a number of settings reductions in particular that hurt their quality.
  • Post-processing effects like ambient occlusion, motion blur, and screen space reflections were excised, cloud rendering was simplified, and resolutions were cut back.
  • Performance was also very shaky, suffering from frame pacing issues as well as framerates that often dipped into the low to mid 20s.
  • On the visual front, not much has changed.
  • The games still suffer from cutback post-processing and other visual concessions.
  • Some changes from patch 1.04 on the other consoles are also present here, like improved signage and fixed rain sorting, but the graphical differences are still very much present.
  • But performance wise, the games are very much improved.
  • The hard dips that affected these titles before are all but absent now, with a pretty decent lock on 30fps.
  • They can still dip more substantially in extreme scenarios, but most gameplay runs at 30 without issue.
  • Unfortunately, this is undermined by some pretty nasty frame pacing problems, which severely hamper the experience.
  • Expect a steady procession of 16, 33, and 50ms frames in typical play.
  • As a result, that performance uplift doesn't feel quite as profound as it should.
  • Grove Street Games resolved most of the performance issues on the Switch releases, but seem to have stuck with a framerate capping method that leaves the game in an uncomfortable state.
  • It's still very much a mixed bag, and it's hard to recommend on Switch as a result.
  • Finally, we have Alan Wake Remastered, which is another game that doesn't fare especially well on the Switch platform.
  • We didn't actually cover this title on its initial release in 2022, but its problems were well documented by other outlets.
  • I'm going to hone in on performance to start with, as this was the most glaring issue with version 1.0, as the game often slipped to 20fps or so during more intense sequences.
  • The updated release runs just fine at 30fps, and manages to operate without frame pacing problems.
  • Over a few hours of play, I did note a few times when the framerate did drop, but in general play the game runs without issue.
  • It's a solid turnaround from the initial version, and it does prove satisfying to play and control.
  • Unfortunately, this port of the game still suffers from a range of issues that make it hard to recommend.
  • The key insight is that this game is based on 2021's Alan Wake Remastered, not 2010's Alan Wake, and the various effects and textures from that version don't scale well to the Switch.
  • Image quality is soft and blurry for one, with a combination of low internal resolutions and TAA.
  • I counted resolutions around 360p in portable mode, and 576p docked.
  • Ambient occlusion has also been stripped out, shadows are missing, textures are lower resolution, and water reflections are totally absent.
  • The game simply looks a lot worse on the Switch, which I suppose is to be expected given the 8th gen pedigree of the remaster, though it's still a big disappointment.
  • More illuminating though, is the comparison with the 360 original, here running unenhanced on Series S hardware.
  • Image quality is better here, with the 540p plus 4x MSAA combo from the 360 release faring much better than the TAA-infused blurriness of the remaster.
  • Textures appear crisper, ambient occlusion is back, and the reflections also appear just fine here.
  • These seem to be using a planar reflection map, and the results look pretty good, but they're inexplicably absent from Switch.
  • I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of the general visual changes made in the remaster to begin with.
  • Alan Wake on 360 was a dark, contrasty game, with heavy vignetting and thick post-processing.
  • The remaster seems restrained in comparison, dialing up brightness and shadowed regions, cutting back on the vignetting, reducing motion blur and depth of field, and tweaking lighting in many areas.
  • There are plenty of material changes too, changes made alongside a revamp of the game's 2D art.
  • Some of which don't really suit the game.
  • Alan Wake was a moody and somewhat messy game, and the remaster looks slightly clinical and restrained by comparison.
  • On Switch, some of the effects that defined the original game are cut out entirely as well, alongside massive compromises to image quality.
  • The patching effort here simply hasn't gone far enough to produce a satisfactory Alan Wake experience.
  • The gold standard for Switch reworkings has to be ARK Survival Evolved.
  • The original Switch release was one of the most compromised ports we've ever seen on Switch, suffering from unbelievably low resolutions and remarkably stripped back visual settings.
  • I don't have time to run through all the improvements made in the updated version of the game.
  • I'd recommend checking out Jon's video from last year for more details, but the revamped release has been improved tremendously.
  • The gist is that the developer has used a more modern version of Unreal Engine 4 to bring enhanced features like SDF shadows and upsampling to improve the game's presentation on Switch, enabling a much higher level of visual fidelity in the process.
  • Unfortunately this experience is uncommon on Switch.
  • We're still seeing a lot of compromised ports that never see substantial improvement post-release.
  • And as we see today, most post-release patching efforts don't fully resolve the issues that we originally saw on the platform.
  • No Man's Sky is the most impressive of the upgrades that we've looked at here.
  • The use of a carefully customized FSR2 has produced a transformative upgrade that seemingly arrives with no corresponding visual or performance cost.
  • The Outer Worlds also sees some substantial improvements, less impactful perhaps than the transformative improvement to image quality in No Man's Sky, but still notably improving the presentation.
  • The Grand Theft Auto Definitive Editions see a straightforward improvement, with markedly better framerates than at launch, albeit still held back by an unfortunate set of visual compromises.
  • Likewise with Alan Wake Remastered, which actually performs quite well on the Switch hardware, but operates with substandard visuals, even compared to the Xbox 360 original.
  • With careful attention and enough time and development resources, the Switch can still punch well above its weight in demanding cross-platform software.
  • Hopefully upcoming releases like Borderlands 3 and Batman Arkham Trilogy, which includes the visually stunning Batman Arkham Knight, will serve as some of the better ports on the platform.
  • And for games that didn't quite hit all the right notes at launch, a decent patching campaign can indeed fix some of their problems, even if others go unaddressed.
