Elden Ring Reportedly Has Severe Performance Issues on the Nintendo Switch 2

[...] citing severe performance issues that are causing the critically acclaimed title to dip as low as 15 FPS during certain sections.

Unfortunately, a recent report from NintendoLife's Felix Sanchez claims that the performance of Elden Ring on the Nintendo Switch 2 is pretty abysmal. "It’s really bad, and I understand why they don’t want you to see this, because wowie zowie, it is terrible,” the journalist said in a recent video (via Kotaku).

Sanches goes on to claim that Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition seems to dip as low as 15 FPS in some sections. "Of course, you’re never going to see the light of this—maybe it will just release in that state, but I can’t imagine they will do that—It was like playing Ocarina of Time. It was like 20 frames per second, sometimes I was like, ‘This has dropped [to] 15 frames per second.'" The current state of Elden Ring on the Nintendo Switch 2 appears to be so bad that Bandai Namco has prevented Gamescom attendees from recording footage of the game. (emphasis mine)

Wow, that sounds horrible. Just today, I was thinking about checking the booth out, but I might just reconsider. Maybe if I have some time tomorrow, I'll have a look and make my own opinion of it, if you guys are interested :)
