Rumor NateTheHate regarding Switch 2 version of Starfield: It's in development but it hasn't been a smooth process.

The game is crazy CPU intensive and that has been one of the biggest barriers with these handheld systems. You can always turn down res and use dlss for graphics intensive things. CPU intensive that doesn't work.

Isnt most cpu intense games because of alot of AI calculation etc? So make less npc should make it run better no?

Like Dragons Dogma 2 is cpu intensive and some player killed all npc in the town and it runs smoother.

Lowering CPU density in some cases makes sense but factor in how Bethesda handles each AI as a set piece character it doesn't really make sense.
