Game Key Card, in Docked Mode at least the Performance Mode looks like 480p/60fps with a lot of pop-ins (no joke), and the Graphic Mode looks like 1080p/30fps... and they call this version as "Definitive Edition" lol

oomfph yeah that's not good. No idea how they got Crossworlds running so well on the system yet Frontiers is giving Switch 2 a workout. (Hoping Sega patches Superstars NS1 Edition... though seeing how they've handled the previous three Sonic releases, I fully anticipate that the NS2 release wll not be a NS2 Edition (i.e. inexpensive upgrade for NS1 owners).)

It's definitely not as low as 480p in performance mode lol. The graphics are also much improved over SW1.

Pop-in is still a big issue though even on quality mode. But it's far better than the awful SW1
version. No upgrade path is ridiculous though.
