Will the Switch 2 specs be powerful enough?

Zack Zwiezen: Mobile chips and hardware have come a long way since 2017, so I expect the Switch 2 will be a much more capable machine and should be able to run most new games, though likely at lower framerates or resolutions. Interestingly, I wonder if the Steam Deck’s success in recent years has helped devs get better at optimizing settings for a portable, smaller device with a limited battery. If so, that could be very helpful for Switch 2 ports.

Kenneth Shepard: It will be powerful enough to run old Switch games like they should have run on the last one, god willing.

Ethan Gach: People are going to be asking for a Switch 2 Pro by Christmas.
