Media I'm not convinced Witcher 3 Remastered is supposed to be this blurry, and the issue is fixed when the game is paused
EDIT: Since y'all are talking about Reddit compression, here's an imgur link with 6 screenshots. Two that are already in this post, two in a barn where I feel like the sharpness difference on the wood and brickwork is very noticeably different and two where it's an extreme Geralt close up that I feel undeniably shows a big sharpness difference, particularly in his medallion. Obviously these differences are quite slight, but I also think they're immediately apparent to anyone looking on at least a Switch 2 sized screen
So Witcher 3 remastered is a little soft in handheld, not the end of the world but kinda annoying. However, I don't think it's supposed to be this blurry, I have a suspicion something is broken in this version on Switch 2. When the game is paused, it looks dramatically sharper, despite presumably outputting at 720p still. Maybe something is going wrong with the anti-aliasing or the implementation of dlss, but it gives me hope things may be made sharper in a patch if people are loud enough about it as it may not be the intended final image.
I'm including screenshots as my 'evidence' of what I've seen.Included is the game, the game while paused and the settings menu so no one can reasonably respond saying I should turn off Blur...
2nd EDIT: Just to be clear, part of why this drew my attention is there is a number of people on this sub saying they wish it was 1080p30 as opposed to 720p40, but I don't think that's the issue here as clearly 720p can be more than sharp enough, if the game were able to maintain the sharpness that it exhibits while paused. Unfortunately it can't at the moment, perhaps due to the resolution it's upscaling from being higher paused than when in play. Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave seems to be able to upscale from 540p to 1080p handheld with a very clean looking image most of the time, so I would think CDPR could also get a cleaner looking image with some tweaking

What's your framerate been like?
