Three performance options on Switch 2
On Switch 2, you can choose one of the following three performance options:
- Performance: the resolution is lowered for a more stable frame rate.
- Balanced: balances visual quality and frame rate.
- Graphics: prioritizes graphical quality over frame rate.
These settings can be changed from the in-game menu, but they are not available in the demo. The frame rate may also drop under certain conditions.
The game has already been optimized to run smoothly. Under normal conditions, Metaphor: ReFantazio runs at 30 fps or higher in both TV and Handheld modes.
A new illustration by Shigenori Soejima
