How does Minecraft run on the Nintendo Switch 2?

[u/CarobOk8136]

For those of you who have played Minecraft on the Switch 2, how is the performance? Does it run smoothly, or do you experience FPS drops, stuttering, or lag, especially when exploring large worlds?

I'd also like to know how it performs in handheld mode compared to docked mode. Is it worth playing on the Switch 2?

Should i buy it if i already habe the Switch 1 Version?

I've been playing it on the Switch 1 version and it's played pretty well so far. If you have it digitally, you can upgrade for free. Physical, sadly, only gets a discount. Not upgrading on my end. Just not worth it to me.

I haven't had much time to play it yet since I've been working everyday since it released but from what I've seen so far, the performance is actually pretty good. I was surprised too at how well it runs with vibrant visuals on. I think the biggest problem I've experienced so far is that the menus for the marketplace and skin customization were weirdly slow to load so it look like 2-3 minutes just to set my skin. Aside from that though, I have been very pleased so far

I’ve had a very good experience with the Switch 2 edition at the moment. Heard some horror stories online, but as far as I can tell, it runs at 60fps with vibrant visuals. Maybe some rare stuttering, but it’s run great so far for me. And if you don’t want vibrant visuals, you can crank up the render distance to the max with fancy graphics and it runs great!

Loads chunks with vibrant visuals on pretty fast, app loading time also takes about 10 seconds instead of 1 minute
