The Tarnished Edition of Elden Ring is finally on the Nintendo Switch 2, but early feedback from Gamescom isn't great. Players are facing serious framerate drops, with handheld mode struggling to hit 30fps—sometimes crashing down to 15fps. While the graphics are getting some love, the gameplay feels shaky, raising red flags about how well the port will play. Despite these hiccups, excitement remains, especially with the upcoming multiplayer spin-off, Elden Ring: Nightreign, which has had a mixed reception. Fans are crossing their fingers for fixes before launch later this year.
