Antonblast on Switch gets 60 FPS Performance Boost

While there are plenty of games that can run at 60 FPS on the Switch, it's not unusual for more graphically demanding titles to feature compromises such as lower performance and visual fidelity. CD Projekt Red's Switch port of the open world RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Huntfor example, it tried to maintain 30 FPS on startup even when running at only 540p.

The Switch handheld is powered by a variant of the Nvidia Tegra X1, a system-on-chip that was already considered obsolete by some when the first model of Nintendo's popular console was released in March 2017. The successor to the Switch is expected to have the newer Nvidia Tegra T239, which should be more powerful than the Tegra X1, as a CPU. More information about the upcoming machine will be announced before the end of the fiscal year on March 31, 2025, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa assured.
