A known video game leaker with a decent track record NateTheHate has elaborated on the reports last week regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 being showcased to developers behind doors at last month’s Gamescom 2023 event in Cologne, Germany. The information shared includes that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild demo was running on the new system at 4K, 60fps, with shorter load times, presumably played in docked mode. Nate says that March 2024 was the date being discussed with developers at the event, however he is not entirely sure if that’s the reveal date for Nintendo’s next generation system or the release window. Here’s what was shared via Reddit.
- Botw demo ran at 4k 60fps – instant loading times compared to the 30 seconds loading times on Switch 1
- The DLSS being used was supposedly DLSS 3.5 but it may not have all the features the pc version does
- The Matrix demo looked the exact same as it does on next gen consoles with supposedly better ray tracing however keep it mind it most likely wasn’t running on native hardware but on a pc/ dev kit with similar specs
- March 2024 was a date being discussed at gamescom but Nate is unsure if it is a reveal date or a release date
- Still no clarity on backwards compatibility
