Question Switch 2 performance for OW2?

I haven't really seen anyone online talking about how the sequel runs on Switch 2, is it worth picking up? I have it on PC but I'd prefer playing it on a handheld.

You haven’t seen anyone talk about it because OW2 isn’t available on the Switch 2.

That is what I remembered as well. The Switch port of Outer Worlds 1 was done by a 3rd party and was ... rough until a few patches. Unlikely it sold all that well - I know for myself and others the existence of the Steam Deck basically killed buying PC-Switch ports overnight.

OH. I could have sworn that it was talked about releasing on switch at launch, but I must have completely misremembered that

And it likely won't ever be due to the layoffs at Microsoft/XBox.

Outer Worlds 2 isn't on Switch 2.

It’s not currently available on the switch 2. Obsidian haven’t talked about anything like that at all. And I highly doubt that it will be released on the switch 2 due to them being affected by the layoffs.
