"Over the last couple of days I've seen some people using the Switch 2 as a cudgel with which to knock down the new ROG Xbox Ally X. And admittedly, comparisons of games like Cyberpunk 2077 running on both certainly don't look nearly as stark as the price difference between the two handhelds. However, I don't see that as a loss for the new premium PC gaming handheld so much as a win for Nintendo's latest console."
"I've spent more than a few minutes scrutinizing a handful of screenshots of the game running on both devices and man, it takes some effort to start spotting the differences. Can you tell which is which? Stare long enough and you'll start to see some bits of the second image that look a little less distinct, especially the farther you go into the background. The shadows and lighting aren't as smoothly mixed in the second one either. After a few moments of intently searching it for imperfection,"
The Switch 2 and ROG Xbox Ally X produce surprisingly similar visual quality and performance when running Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion. The Xbox Ally X hits about 40–50fps using AMD's recommended settings with in-game graphics on high in performance mode. The Switch 2 reaches roughly 40fps in performance mode but offers a quality mode that adds clarity and visual vibrancy while maintaining smooth action. Cloudsave syncing enables quick switching between devices. Close screenshot comparisons reveal only subtle differences, with some background detail, shadows, and lighting blending slightly less smoothly on one device.
