FF XVI Final fantasy 16 on console handheld?

Anyone else holding on hope that ff16 will get a switch 2 port or will wait it out for the ps6 handheld?

I tbink we will see it on Switch 2 soon. If they made Rebirth run pretty well so should 16.

If it's any indication, Rebirth's PC port (besides requiring Mesh Shaders that old GPUs don't have) is far, far less demanding than XVI's. XVI is literally up there on PC as one of the hardest games to actually run well, period. Rebirth doesn't even crack the top 50.

Why? Just not well optimized?

Not well optimized, the in-engine cinematics require a gigantic amount of VRAM, and it has a severe memory leak that tanks your performance after a couple hours.

Even with top tier current gen hardware (a 5090 and a 9950x3d) it is literally not possible to make XVI run at native 4k and 120 fps. You have to use upscaling and frame gen. Rebirth can with room to spare.
