© EAApex Legends is officially available on the Switch today and as you may have heard, it offers cross-play – allowing you to face players on other systems.
So, what will it be like for Nintendo players in the battle? During a conversation with Famitsu, Panic Button technical director Andy Boggs said the game would run 720p anchored, 576p in portable mode and has a frame rate of 30FPS in both modes.
Although a lot of effort was made for the Switch version of the game, in the battle – competitors on other platforms could double the frame rate, if not more. While there may be some performance limitations, Andy told Nintendo Life that there were no sacrifices or compromises in terms of features or content:
“Not as much as the resources or content, everything that exists in the other versions of the game should be on the Switch. I think the big challenge for us is always to arrive and understand which parts of the game we can adapt and make changes to optimize and which parts are so essential that we need to leave it alone. I think, ultimately, the changes we had to make are not going to affect the players’ experience with this. It’s still a great experience and it seems to play Apex! “
