Optimization isn’t necessarily a global thing for software. Often you need to optimize it for different types of hardware. This is often especially necessary for consoles, as they are specific kinds of proprietary hardware that are relatively static. Optimization for the PC (or Steam Deck) is not necessarily optimization for a Switch 2, which may even require optimization between handheld and docked modes.

CubitOom@infosec.pub 1 day agoYes, it’s the game devs fault for not optimizing a game that was released in 2022.
It definitely could not be Nintendo’s fault for releasing a console in 2025 that can’t play games from 2022.

There’s no reason it shouldn’t be able to. The hardware has proven to be very adequate, better than Steam Deck.
