Elden Ring Tarnished Edition is an extremely good Switch 2 port

After being delayed for several months, Elden Ring Tarnished Edition had some fans fearing the worst regarding its final quality. However, FromSoftware has once again delivered a remarkable version of its legendary game, specially optimized for the Switch 2.

On Metacritic, Elden Ring Tarnished Edition has a 91% average based on 31 reviews. While there are a few graphical and frame rate issues, this Switch 2 version still performs very well overall. It includes all the content from the base game and the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion without any compromises at all.

The YouTube channel ElAnalistaDeBits has posted gameplay footage captured in both docked and handheld modes.
