Elden Ring Tarnished Edition arrives on Switch 2 on 28 August

Elden Ring in its Tarnished Edition reaches Switch 2 on 28 August.

What is interesting here is not the game but the measurement. Elden Ring is a well-known case of uneven frame pacing: on the last generation it dropped in open fields and in rain, on every platform at once. That makes it a convenient ruler — you know exactly where the game starts to struggle, and the result compares against anything.

For Switch 2 this is the first major port of that class. What the first week's measurements show will say more about the console than any presentation.
