Here are the resolution and performance specs once again:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;On Nintendo Switch 2, players will have the option of playing in Quality Mode (4K HDR, up to 30FPS docked; Full HD, up to 30FPS handheld) or Performance Mode (Full HD, up to 60FPS docked and handheld).&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to online listings, the Switch 2 version of this title is a Game-Key Card while the original Switch version is a full physical release.
