Capcom has unleashed DLSS upscaling to make Resident Evil Requiem shine on the Nintendo Switch 2. Digital Foundry have analysed the Nintendo Switch 2 version and the native resolution is a mere 540p which uses DLSS to upscale it to 1080p. The main issue is with the framerate which the Nintendo Switch 2 seems to struggle with at times during intense sequences, though it is the weaker of the consoles, so it shouldn’t be massively surprising. Overall though, Capcom seems to have to produced a very impressive port. You can see Digital Foundry’s full verdict in the video down below.
Digital Foundry: Resident Evil Requiem on Nintendo Switch 2 is native 540p upscaled to 1080p
For anyone still trying to get the Generations Pack that’s out of stock everywhere, it’s currently in stock at Books A Million!!!!~ Unfortunately you’ll have to pay $5 for shipping, but it is in stock!!~
I miss having a local Books A Million, the one here closed once Barnes And Noble opened.
The game really is looking excellent, and isn’t it great to see Switch 2 receiving a current-gen port with same day release. That did not happen very often for Switch for AAA games at all, and when it did, the ports were nearly all a whole lot ropy than this (PS4 ports on Switch way worse than PS5 ports on Switch 2). DLSS is truly a hero for low-powered hardware like this.
“Switch 2 receiving a current-gen port”? LOL. This is NOT a port. It’s launching the same day as the other consoles, so it’s a Switch 2 edition game.

Key Card ruined it. The File size was small enough in the Switch 2 to easily fit on a cartridge. For that, I’ll get it for a… “Heavy Discount” on PC.
The only thing ruined is your arse. CAPCOM made their own decision. And according to Square Enix’s Hamaguchi, a standard physical game card lags severely and it sorely lacks the loading times.
I really think some of you honestly believe that a cart costs the same as a disc. It’s over 10x as much. The only size being 64GB is a real problem, and it’s going to get worse due to the AI-caused flash memory shortage. It’s entirely possible that a year or two from now a 64GB cart will cost so much that there’s no way to sell it for profit unless the game is like $90.
I agree with the cat and but also would like to say it’s also morons that buy into and eat up anti consumer practices and scams like Key Cards. Trusting Square Enix is like Trusting EA or Konami. They Lie. Supporting Key Cards are actively supporting the destruction of gaming and it makes you look like a fool. Nintendo Always has the absolute worst versions of 3rd party games, the trade off was that at least you could get it physical. Take that away and you might as well be getting aby other version anywhere else. Can’t even use Handheld mode as a excuse because of platforms like the Steam Deck
Every ps5 game and xbox game is pretty much digital only, the discs contain nothing. At least some third party games on nintendo are on the cartridge which is better then playstations and xbox which is none of the games.
Just one example: Indiana jones is 130 GB on PS5 and Xbox with only 15 GB being contained on the disc while Indiana jones for the switch is fully on the cartridge.
It’s crazy how so many of you are delusional enough to believe that carts cost the same as discs and that without GKCs all games would be on cart…
Most games would be. I own over two hundred physical games for the Original Switch.
No, switch 2 games have much bigger size and speed needs so you are comparing apples and oranges.

Resident Evil 9 on Switch 3 is around 30GB and if that Resolution is right guess what?, The Nintendo Wii was 480P snd Switch 2 Cartridges are made to Run Games Faster, Nintendo has Stated this. Stop brown nosing and making an embarrassment of yourself. Sll of these Companies sre doing everything that they can to spend as little as possible while charging you as much as possible for maximum profit. Thsts It.
Is there a way to turn off the upscaler and run the native res?
It is impressive that Capcom managed to get Resident Evil Requiem running on Switch 2 even at native 540p, and DLSS upscaling to 1080p shows how much optimization matters on weaker hardware. Frame drops during intense scenes are not surprising, but overall it sounds like a solid port considering the limitations. Performance balancing like this reminds me of kazino platforms where system stability and smooth gameplay are crucial for user experience. While researching structured online gaming in India, I found https://bcgames-india.org/ which explains different gaming formats and technical aspects clearly. Optimization always plays a key role in digital entertainment.
