Fallout 4, the critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic RPG developed by Bethesda, has officially launched on the Nintendo Switch 2, marking a significant expansion for Nintendo's next-generation hardware.
This latest port brings the renowned open-world experience to a new audience, while offering flexible performance choices not previously seen on other platforms.
As one of the most highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 releases, Fallout 4's arrival is generating considerable excitement within the gaming community. A newly released graphics comparison video has surfaced online, showcasing how Fallout 4 on Nintendo Switch 2 performs next to its PlayStation counterparts.
The video contrasts the Switch 2 version directly with both the PS5 and PS4 editions, providing detailed insights into the technical enhancements and options available to Nintendo players.
Notably, the video highlights unique display modes exclusive to the Switch 2, setting it apart from earlier console releases. On Nintendo Switch 2, players can select between multiple performance modes designed to accommodate both docked and handheld playstyles.
In the 30 FPS mode, the game achieves a resolution of 1440p while docked, delivering crisp visuals, and scales to 1080p when played in handheld mode.
Opting for the 60 FPS setting lowers the resolution to 1080p docked and 720p in handheld mode—a configuration reminiscent of the original PS4 release, balancing fluidity with graphical fidelity.
For those seeking a middle ground, the 40 FPS mode is available, offering a performance profile similar to the 30 FPS option but with an adjusted, slightly reduced resolution to maintain smoother gameplay. Bethesda's implementation of these configurable graphics options marks a noteworthy advancement for portable gaming on the Nintendo Switch 2.
The port exemplifies the collaborative push between Nintendo and third-party studios to provide players with technical choices traditionally reserved for high-end home consoles.
As expressed in the comparison footage, Switch 2 users can now enjoy Fallout 4 in a way that best suits their personal preferences, whether prioritizing resolution or frame rate. The arrival of Fallout 4 on Nintendo Switch 2 also underscores the system’s increasing appeal to major developers and its capability to host complex, graphically demanding titles.
With robust support from Bethesda and striking graphics parity in key areas with PlayStation platforms, Nintendo further cements its place in the current console generation.
Fallout 4 is now available for purchase on the Nintendo eShop, with full support for both docked and handheld configurations.
