Why it matters
The comparison puts a number on the gap: the Switch 2 build's Quality Mode tracks the PS5 on lighting and color but not on draw distance or frame rate, which is the tradeoff buyers of the 100 yen upgrade are accepting.
In Quality Mode the Switch 2 version matches PS5 closely on light, shadow, and underwater color, per the comparison, but falls short on draw distance and frame rate. Switch 1 owners can upgrade to the Switch 2 digital version for 100 yen until January 31, 2027.
The comparison covers three configurations side by side: the PS5 version, the Switch 2 Performance Mode, and the Switch 2 Quality Mode. Tree-leaf shadows, sunlight spread, and the deep blue of underwater scenes reproduce almost identically to PS5 under Quality Mode. Distant buildings and terrain still render, but PS5 resolves further mountains and forest. Frame rate in Quality Mode was observed running in the 30 to 40 fps range in some scenes, while Performance Mode and settings without the visual upgrade hold around 60fps.
