In this video, we dive into the graphics and performance differences between the original Subnautica on Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2 edition. Using side-by-side footage, we explore improvements in lighting, shadows, textures, and frame rate, along with changes in environmental detail and view distance.
From subtle reflections in the escape pod to the lush Kelp Forest and sprawling Island areas, the Switch 2 upgrade takes the game to the next level. We also break down how the frame rate holds up, showing the variable 30–60 fps in action compared to the stuttery 30 fps of the original port.
If you want a deeper look at the Switch 2 version’s performance and visuals, this comparison is for you.
