Capcom proves the Switch 2 can deliver 60 fps Requiem on the go.
The latest footage of Resident Evil Requiem on the Switch 2 has fans hyped. Watching the game run in handheld mode, it’s clear this isn’t just a watered-down version. The visuals and overall performance are impressive, and it genuinely looks like a game you’d want to play on the go.
Handheld mode isn’t the Switch 2’s most powerful setting. When docked, the console benefits from higher clock speeds, thanks to extra power from being plugged in. Handheld doesn’t get that boost. Capcom has still managed to make the game run at a solid 60 fps, which is impressive for the Switch 2.
Some reports suggested 40 fps, while others stated it’s between 45 and 60 fps. But, thank god, it’s a steady 60 fps. Even with the Switch 2’s VRR screen, the footage shows Resident Evil Requiem updating perfectly every frame. Watching it frame by frame proves the game is smooth as butter.
Seeing it look and run this well on the Switch 2 handheld mode is a huge achievement. It’s a clear sign that Capcom has put serious effort into Requiem for portable play, letting you get RE horror anywhere and everywhere. For anyone who doubted whether the Switch 2 or Capcom could handle a game of this scale in handheld mode, I hope you now have your answer.
