Shrek 2 Remastered has drawn attention for its console technical differences after Aspyr supplied performance details to Nintendo Everything.
The remaster, inspired by the DreamWorks Animation film, is available on Nintendo's handheld-console family and—according to the developer—has distinct frame-rate and resolution targets on each platform.
Aspyr confirmed to Nintendo Everything that the Nintendo Switch release targets 30 frames per second, delivering the platform's maximum native output: 1080p when docked and 720p in handheld mode.
For the newer hardware, Aspyr said the Nintendo Switch 2 build doubles the frame rate to 60 frames per second and raises resolution, offering up to 4K in docked mode and 1080p in handheld.
These technical details were provided directly by Aspyr as part of the studio's public information on the port.
Aspyr is the developer credited with producing this remastered edition and has a track record of adapting titles for multiple console generations.
