TL;DW: Journalists played Elden Ring on Switch 2 on gamescom. They weren’t allowed to record gameplay but performance is really bad. Tons of stuttering and reportedly dips to <20FPS in cases.

I would never have thought to try to play Elden Ring on a handheld console, never mind a Switch (2).
It’s actually a pretty decent experience on a Steam Deck. I definitely prefer having a larger screen, but it’s very playable.
I played it on Steam Deck and it was fine. And the Switch 2 is more powerful than that, although it also has a much higher display resolution.
I have only played elden ring on the steamdeck and it was fine. I completed both the main and the dlc.
A couple of days ago I started it using Steam remote play to the deck, just assuming that it would suck on Deck itself. Apparently it gets 40fps on low settings on Deck which is better than I expected but still kinda sucky.
I mean I never checked the stats but the play was fine with me. im not exactly a l33t guy with a decked out tower, multi high end panels, and gaming peripherals though. Filthy casual.
