Although the game on Switch 2 is “60fps” it’s NOT a “smooth” 60fps. There is a noticeable frame pacing issue - every 5/6 seconds there is a stutter. Can be observed in docked & handheld play. I have tested this on three different switch 2’s and all have the same issue.
Easy way to test is spin the camera at a constant speed around the character or keep running in a straight line left to right.
Can confirm the PS5 version of the game does not have this issue.
I have recorded footage using capture card and going to forward my findings to DF - hopefully either the full release is fixed or DF pick it up and Square Enix patch the game in post.
