Nintendo Switch game slammed for running at 24fps

You only need to look at the likes of The Witcher 3, Skyrim and No Man’s Sky on Switch to see that Nintendo’s beloved hybrid console really packs some punch, even with games that weren’t originally built for it (not to mention some of the huge exclusives it can run, like the Xenoblade Chronicles series and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild). Perhaps that’s why it’s so shocking that a port that arrived on the system yesterday (4 May), of a 2019 game at that, runs at a rather abysmal 24fps.

If you want an example of a massive game that the Switch runs brilliantly, look no further than Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

As GamesRadar+ reports, the game in question is The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan - a survival-horror title from Supermassive Games. Clearly, Nintendo itself thought that gamers might not be too happy about the game’s frame rate if they bought it unaware of how low it is, as there’s actually a disclaimer for it on the official eShop page.
