© EAApex Legends is officially released today on Switch and, as you may have heard, will offer cross-platform games – allowing you to approach players from other systems.
So how will Nintendo players battle? During a discussion with Famitsu, Panic Button technical director Andy Boggs said the game would run 720p docked, 576p in handheld mode and has a frame rate of 30FPS in both ways.
Although a lot of effort was put into the Switch version of the game, in combat – competitors on other platforms could have double the frame rate, if not even more. Although there may be some performance limitations, Andy told Nintendo Life that there were no sacrifices or trade-offs in terms of features or content:
“Not exactly in terms of features or content, everything in other versions of the game should be there on the Switch. I think the big challenge for us is to always go in and understand which parts of the game we can adapt and make changes to and optimize and which parts are so essential that we have to leave alone. I think that in the end the changes we had to make will not have an impact on the players’ experience with it. It’s still a great experience and it feels like playing Apex!
